Additional Issues Fixed by SP-1
Format of Bulleted or Numbered List Changes in Reply
When you create a message in Microsoft Outlook 2000 with a bulleted or numbered list and then send this message to an Outlook 2002 user, who then replies to the message, the bullets or numbers change format if the Use Word to Read Rich Text messages option is selected.
Word Quits When You Make Long DDE Connections
Word quits unexpectedly when you try to make a Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) connection with a connection string that is longer than 255 characters.
Smart Tag Financial Symbols Recognize Parts of Words
When you set the smart tags list to include MSN MoneyCentral financial symbols, partial words are sometimes converted to smart tags.
Some Three-Letter Stock Symbols Are Not Recognized
When you set the smart tags list to include MSN MoneyCentral financial symbols, some three-letter stock symbols are not recognized. This behavior occurs if there are other stock ticker symbols that start with the symbol but contain additional characters. For example, because the stock ticker symbols MCDT and MCDE exist, MCD is not recognized.
This issue occurs in some languages when the Proofing Tools files are not available because of installation problems (or if the files were configured during Setup to be unavailable), but the files of another language with the same base ID are installed. Word uses the alternative proofing files but displays the language of the missing files.
"Subdocument Is Missing" Error Message When You Expand a Subdocument
When you try to expand the subdocuments contained in a master document after you move both files, Word does not search for the subdocument in the appropriate relative subdirectory of the master document.
Numbered Paragraphs Have Numbers Superimposed Over the Text
In the Hebrew version of Word, or with Hebrew enabled in the English version of Word, the numbers of numbered paragraphs may be printed on the wrong side of the page, and the numbers may be printed over some of the text.
Word Quits Unexpectedly in WebBrowser Control
When you open a Word document inside a WebBrowser control and then start and quit Word outside of the WebBrowser control, Word may quit unexpectedly when you make changes in the WebBrowser control.

Renaming a Style Can Create Duplicate Styles
When you create a character style that is based on a paragraph style, the character style has a unique name based on the paragraph style. If you rename the paragraph style, the character style is renamed automatically, and the new name of the character style may match an existing style.
Table Is Split When You Move a Row in an HTML Document
When you drag a row of an embedded Microsoft Excel worksheet contained in either a reply e-mail message or an HTML file, the row that you dragged may cause the embedded table to split into separate tables.
Word Quits Unexpectedly When You Save a Document

Style with a Different Font for Numbers Uses One Font

Surrogate Font Linking

When you paste a hyperlink that was copied outside of Word (for example, a URL from the Address box in Microsoft Internet Explorer) over an existing hyperlink contained in an e-mail message (with Word as your e-mail editor) or in a Word document, the display text of the hyperlink changes to the correct URL. However, when you press CTRL and then click the hyperlink, the link still connects you to the old URL.
Value for Readability Score Is Different If You Access It Programmatically
When you use Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications to retrieve the readability score for a document, the result may not be the same as displayed in the Spelling and Grammar dialog box. Specifically, the results are different if the document contains bullets or tabs.
Reveal Formatting Taskbar Does Not Fully Support Microsoft Active Accessibility
The Reveal Formatting taskbar does not fully support Microsoft Active Accessibility. SP-1 allows you to obtain details about the formatting of the selected font by using a screen reader or the Magnifier accessory.
E-Mail Message Hyperlink Ignores the Accessibility Color Setting
When you use Word as your e-mail editor in Outlook, any hyperlinks that you create in an HTML message ignore the accessibility color settings until the message is sent. For example, if you use white text on a black background, the hyperlink is displayed in blue.
E-Mail Message Reply Ignores the Accessibility Color Setting
When you use Word as your e-mail editor in Outlook, and you reply to a message, the default text color is blue. Changes in SP-1 override the Outlook default text color if you are using high-contrast color schemes.
