Word 2008 crashes when embedding PDF graphic clippings

[CyberTaz]

Not Quite the bug was introduced by the 12.1.2. update which was not
released until 12 August & wasn't available via AutoUpdate [IIRC] until at
least 1-2 days later. Most folks actually have had it applied for no more
than ~35 days.

Unfortunately it isn't usually feasible to issue a singular fix, nor is it
common for any developer to reply "directly" on such issues. It also
fascinates me that many people seem to believe that a bug in a multi-million
line code package can be identified - let alone corrected - the minute the
*symptoms* of that bug are reported.

No doubt about the inconvenience caused, but I would expect to see it
corrected in the next update... And before you ask No, I can't say when
that will be. My *guess* would be prior to the end of October.

Strange: This problem has now be reported for more than two months and no
reply from the clever Microsoft people. This problem is really making things
more complicated for a lot of users - and I really hope that is will befixed
soon.

Seeing the exact same problem here, which makes writing specification
documents that include logic and screen diagrams basically impossible.
Hope there is a fix soon. Thanks.
