Word 2000 Bug

Does anyone know if this has been fixed:

I had a spreadsheet in Excel with hidden columns, I copied
only the visible cells (CTRL+G, click Special button,
choose Visible cells only) and pasted into a Word
document. The pasted data went into Word as a table and I
used the Convert Table to Text feature to change it to a
tab separated list. Only the values I had selected were
showing and I then e-mailed the document from Word (not as
attachment). When the e-mail was sent all the hidden data
from the spreadsheet reappeared, even though there was no
sign of it in the Word document. :-(

Oops, what I said had an ommission. When I sent the e-
mail from Word I did it with mail merge and it's this
process that resurrects all the hidden data from Excel,
just sending the e-mail is OK but when you use mail merge
to send it the result isn't as expected (which you can't
tell as you can't see the process happening on screen).
