Variables word object (2007)

[Rabaté]

Using Word 2007 with docx format, if a variable is set to a value, when the
document is reopen the variable value is garbage, when seems to be a bug.
Example
activedocument.variables("my").value = "100"
Save doc
Open doc
The variable exixts, but value as said is garbage. If document is saved in
..doc format, the value is as it is expected.

There is a bug in the Security Update KB969604 that was released 6/08. The
matter has been reported to Microsoft and while, it should not have happened
as they were warned about it before releasing the update into the wild, we
believe that it is belatedly being given the attention.

In the meantime, all you can do is uninstall that Security Update.

Hello Doug

Thank you so much for this very valuable information. I could have search
days and days. I uninstalled the defective update, and it works fine now.

I was going crazy because of this bug and getting nowhere. I too uninstalled
the bad update and the Document Variable bug went away.
