Hi all,

I've brought this to Microsoft/VFO's attention.  Apparently it was
addressed at least partially in Office 365.  I stressed to VFO that
this is such a rudimentary feature of Microsoft Office that it needs
to be addressed in other issues of Office as well, including older
ones.  I was told that the bug is officially logged.  I will keep
following up.  Fingers crossed!
