Terry,

Thank you for your comments. The printer driver is the latest driver from HP
for their HP4650 Colour Laserjet. As we have not chosen a printer at the
stage referred to in bug 1 or 2, we are not sure how this could be related,
however we have just changed the default printer to the PDF printer and the
same thing happens. Not sure the problem is related to that. As the printer
in word is either the default or the one that you choose when you go to
[print the bottom, would the document know about it before then?

The document type is the only thing we have changed in the 'preferences' so
we are not sure about any thing else. We got to that via the top left hand
'start' icon and then chose word options.

Hope this clarifies the issues.

Both Bug 1 + 2 'may' be printer driver related. Have you tested this with a
different default printer driver installed?

Bug 3: Are other options changes remembered correctly (i.e. is it ONLY the
file type)? Where are you changing the option?

As we continue our very detailed evaluation of the new Office 2007 suite
of
programs we are beginning to find bugs in Word. Bug 1 - Launch Word - go
to
Page setup and choose landscape and different odd and even page headers.
On
the first page in the header section choose insert wordart and choose any
of
the wordart styles. Type in your heading and then move out of the header
section into the body. Insert an object into the body, and after inserting
the object go to the 2nd page (even page). Choose insert header again and
type in a different heading for page 2 using wordart again. When you
actually
insert the wordart item it compresses it up to being unreadable. If you
then
select edit text and change the font size of the wordart and then size it
back to what it should have been that unscrambles it. You can also work
around it in the way that we do by inserting the object into the body of
the
2nd page first and then going back to the header and doing it - this seems
to
work first time. This was also a problem in earlier versions of Word.
Bug 2 - When you copy and paste special an Excel Chart into Word 2007, you
often get unexpected results. The chart will lose its background colours
for
example. There doesn't seem to be a pattern or repeatable way of making
this
happen, but happens at least once per week.
Bug 3: If you change the default word document type to .doc, the system
does
not remember this - it constantly reverts back to docx.

We are sure there are many more issues in the product which we will pass
on
for both Microsoft and others to comment on.
