Compiling a COM Add-in for both Word 2002 and Word 2003

In the past I always compiled my Word COM Add-in against Office 10 so that it
would work for both Office 10 (Word 2002) and Office 12 (Word 2003). In the
project references, I referenced Office 10 and Word 10 object models. The
application level events always seemed to work fine for both versions...
until recently.

I noticed that the last time I compiled the add-in against Office 10 and
Word 2002, the event handlers no longer fired when the add-in was run with
Word 2003. To be sure of this, I placed a messagebox in the DocumentChange
event, and it did not display in Word 2003. When the add-in (compiled with
Word 2002) was run with Word 2002, the event fired.

Has something changed that prevents the event sinking from working with Word
2003 if an Office add-in is compiled with Word 2002 ???

Note: It is a COM add-in created using Visual Basic 6.0.
