The Address Block field is inserted by using the default address layout instead of by using the language-specific layout

You are not prompted to add the manifest location to the Trusted sites zone

When you reference a manifest that is located on a Web site in a Word 2003 document, you are not prompted to add the manifest location to the Trusted sites zone in Microsoft Internet Explorer.

When you open your document off-line that is attached to a smart document, your document opens but you receive the following error message:
A file that's a part of this XML expansion pack could not be downloaded.

If you have multiple language translation providers installed in Word 2003, the translation of text in a document may occur by using all the providers that are installed. The expected behavior is for one translation provider to be the source for all the translations in the whole document.


You receive an error message when you programmatically use the InsertXML method to insert a text fragment into an XML file

When you programmatically use the InsertXML method to insert a text fragment into an XML file, you may receive the following error message:
