Default New Bug (Word 2003) - Record number shortened to 2 characters in Mailmerge

It was the SP3 update, and there isn't a solution short of uninstalling and
re-installing without the SP3 update.

This has been introduced recently but not sure in which
hotfix/service pack. It is happening to multiple clients across
multiple sites. When looking at the record number in the mailmerge
toolbar, only the first two characters show. So for example 110 will
show as 11, 1200 as 12. Customizing the toolbar and making the text
box wider has no effect.
This issue has been reported widely on the Net but I have yet to find
a solution.

Any ideas:
