Issues that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
  • When you expand a list control on a Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 form, the list may stop responding for 10 to 15 seconds.

    This issue occurs when the following conditions are true:
    • You have the German language proofing tools installed for Office 2003.
    • The list contains several list items that start with the same word.
  • When you verify the spelling of certain three-letter abbreviations by using the German proofing tools, the spelling and grammar checker may suggest putting a period, or full stop, at the end of the abbreviation. If you click Change All, the spelling and grammar checker will repeatedly insert periods for the single occurrence of the abbreviation until you press the ESC key.

Prerequisites

The following list contains prerequisites for the hotfix package:
  • The optimized version of this hotfix is a post-Office 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1) hotfix. To install the hotfix, you must have Office 2003 SP1 installed. For more information about Office 2003 SP1, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

    842532 Description of Office 2003 Service Pack 1

  • The full-file version of this hotfix is also the administrative version of this hotfix. You can install this version of the hotfix on a computer that is running Office 2003 with Office 2003 SP1 installed or on a computer that is running Office 2003 without Office 2003 SP1 installed.

    However, we have tested this hotfix more extensively on a computer that is running Office 2003 with Office 2003 SP1 installed than we have on a computer that is running Office 2003 without Office 2003 SP1 installed. If you install this hotfix on a computer that is running Office 2003 without Office 2003 SP1 installed, some file conflicts might occur. We support this configuration, but we do not recommend this configuration.
