Track changes bug Word 2007?

D

Several lines of text adjacent to a tracked deletion disappear in print
layout view when using track changes in Word 2007 - it reappears when in
'draft' view and when using 'Final' instead of 'Final showing markup' option.
We have track changes set to 'in-line' and show deletions using the caret
'^' (or '#') symbol with inserted text set to 'colour only' for readability
reasons. The problem resolves when using balloons or when using any other
in-line deletion options such as 'strikethrough' - but this makes the
document difficult to read. The text is also missing from the printout even
after setting view to 'draft'.

Also when a paragraph mark is deleted it turns red (colour of inserted text)
and does not display the ^ symbol next to it as it used to in Word 2003. The
line in the margin is also missing.

I Cannot find any information on this bug on Microsoft's support site or via
Google

Is there a patch for this bug?

I have registered this problem with Microsoft and they have admitted
it is a bug and passed it on to their development team. Unless 2 more
customers register the same complaint it is unlikely to make their
knowledge base listing.
