Default Problem Connecting to a CSV File in Word 2007

Windows Vista Ultimate. Office 2007 Professional. Word 2007.

In Word 2003 I can connect my document to a .CSV file as my data source and
it remembers and maintains the data connection when I save the file and open
it later. However, in Word 2007 when I connect to a .CSV file as the data
source and save the file, the next time I open the file it is no longer
connected to the .CSV file. I have to go through all the steps to connect to
a data source again. If I use a regular Excel file (.xls) I do not have this
problem. I need to be able to have this work for a .CSV file.

Why is this simple function not working in Word 2007? Is it a known bug?
How Can I fix this issue???

Thanks for the help.
