I'm not sure you can call this a bug, since it works correctly with documents created by 3.01. After all, since 3.0 was such a mess, why bother making 3.01 backwards compatible with it? Yes, I'll agree Microsoft should have provided backwards compatibility since they screwed up in the first place, but that's not the same as saying that 3.01 has a bug. -- Craig D.
