Printing Dialog Box Bug?

Apologies if this has already been posted...

I write documents with hidden text. When printing, sometimes I want the hidden text to print and sometimes not. In Word 2008 I press command-p to bring up the print dialog box, then in the 'Copies and Pages' pulldown menu I chose 'Microsoft Word'. The dialog box changes and I have a button called 'Word Options'. In Word 2004 I clicked this button and a new dialog box appeared. I could select the 'hidden text' checkbox to print hidden text or uncheck it to hide hidden text. But in Word 2008 this new dialog box is hidden behind the original - you have no idea how long it took me to discover this! I can't make it the front dialog box by clicking on it and have to slide the dialog boxes around to be able to check the 'hidden text' box I need. Next time I do this, it's disappeared behind again.

Anyone else see this? Bug? Workaround? Thanks.

Yeah, this one's well documented but just hasn't yet been fixed. Give 'em a
shove in the right direction by using Help> Send Feedback - just paste in a
copy of the message you posted here... It's concise but complete. Perhaps
they'll pay attention if they're convinced it's not just me [plus 30,000
others] seeing the issue
