This is a known problem in Microsoft Word. It's a bug, in other
words.
is a pointer to an article about the problem (registration may be
required to read this, but it's free). The article number is Q162349.
The fix is to download and apply Office Service Release 1.
Hope this helps.
I have no affiliation with Microsoft, aside from being a frequently
disgruntled user of their products.
