Default BUG: Wd2007 Saving as web page with drawings- Horrible pixelation

What kind of drawings are this (in other words, how did you make them)?

These are Word textboxes... either when placed in a Drawing Canvas or inline
with text... it doesn't matter. It's also easy to reproduce. Just create a
new document, Insert, Text Box. Type some text. Save As Web Page (Filtered)
(see P.S. in original post). Word 2003 (and prior AFAIK) saves them
beautifully... Word 2007 destroys them.

What happens if you save as PNG?


Haven't changed the "Allow save as PNG" option. I shouldn't have to.

What fonts are you using?


I tried Times New Roman, Arial, and even Calibri. All same horrible result.

What happens if you save as PDF?


Don't know. That's not what I'm trying to do.

When saving as Web Page (either Filtered or not- see P.S. below), Word
2007
mucks up drawings that contain text. This did not happen with Word 2003
(or
earlier for that matter). The text produced is horribly unreadable.

Word 2007 is absolutely UNUSABLE for creating technical documentation
because of this. I hate this! Why destroy a perfectly working feature?
Was
this release even QA'd?

P.S.
Saving as Web Page (not filtered) produces the same result... except you
wouldn't know it unless you used a browser other than IE! Before some
"MVP"
suggests this option, check it out for yourself first.
