When they say it's a known problem, it doesn't mean they don't intend to fix
it. It means exactly what they say. Whether or not they fix it (and how
soon) will depend on their schedule for releasing Office 2004 updates and on
their list of priorities. The higher priorities are often those about which
people make the most noise, so it would behoove you and everyone else who is
bothered by this problem to send feedback via the Feedback link on Word's
Help menu.
(By the way, you have installed the Office 2004 SP 1, right?)
