Default Link Field Won't Update-Word 2003

I'm wondering if someone could check something strange. I have Word 2003,
SP2 & all updates.

1. I enter a text formfield & call the bookmark "name".
2. I copy & Paste Special/Paste link the formfield to some point below the
original.

At this point, it updates the way it should.

3. Now I enter three more fields somewhere in the document: a text
formfield, a formula, & another text formfield.

{ FORMTEXT } (which I bookmarked Quantity, & then the following IF field)

{ IF { REF Quantity } 101 "{ ={ REF Quantity }*50 }" "{ IF { REF Quantity
} 501 "{ ={ REF Quantity }*25 }" "{ ={ REF Quantity }*20 }" }" }

{ FORMTEXT }

My IF field updates fine. Then I do the following:
1. I tab to the name field & type a name.
2. I tab or shift+tab to the next field & the OLE field updates.
3. I tab or shift+tab to a couple more formfields, the name in the OLE
field disappears. The only way to get it back is to go back to the original
formfield & retype the name.

I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/895481/en-us, which is a description
of a hotfix from March 11, 2005, describing this problem (about a 1/3 of the
way down the page, just before the red font). But that issue was supposedly
resolved in SP2.

Can anyone who uses Word 2003 test this out or give me a solution?

Thanks,
Phil
