Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package
The following issues are fixed in this hotfix package but were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:  When you use Microsoft Word as the e-mail editor to copy and paste the text of an e-mail message in Microsoft Outlook to a Word 2002 document or to a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document and then open the document in Microsoft Word 97 for Windows, text may appear as tracked changes (revisions).

  When you programmatically move the insertion point in a document to a location that contains a Smart Tag or an AutoCorrect entry, the Smart Tag or the AutoCorrect entry blue icon does not appear. If you close the document with the insertion point in the location that contains a Smart Tag or an AutoCorrect entry, Word 2002 quits unexpectedly, and you receive the following error message:

Microsoft Word has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

If you view the details of the error message, you receive an error signature that is similar to the following: Application name Application version  Module name  Module version  Offset

Winword.exe      11.0.5604.0          Winword.exe  11.0.5604.0     000443a7  If you run a Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) macro in a Word 2002 document that contains numbered paragraphs, you notice that list numbering for some of the paragraphs has been removed. This problem may occur if all the following conditions are true:  The Word 2003 document contains an Outline numbered list. The VBA macro uses the ResetOnHigher property to programmatically set List level 1 to False. You click Open and Repair on the Open button in the Open dialog box to open the Word 2002 document.</li></ul>

Note In the Show Repairs dialog box, you notice that repairs have been made to List level 1.
