Office 2003 SP2 causes report problems

[Guest]

I just deployed Office 2003 SP2 on our domain, and afterward, we found that
many of the multiple page reports in our system (which uses a front-end
written in Access 2003) no longer print properly. Basically the page breaks
are messed up on reports that have more than one page, the second page starts
printing at the bottom of the first page.

These are reports where the report consists of a single page and the second
page, etc. have different entries in the fields on the report, e.g. "copy to
such and such dept.", they're not reports that actually reach the bottom of
the page. The second and subsequent pages are merely duplicates of the first
with different field entries.

I tried everything, fiddled with the reports, tried different field names,
switched printer drivers (many different printers are used, the bug occurs on
all our client PCs), the only thing that worked was to reinstall Office 2003
with SP1.

I can only put it down to a bug in Service Pack 2. Anyone got a clue which
component specifically is causing this, then at least I can deploy the rest
of the service pack until Microsoft sort out the bug. (And how the heck do I
report the bug, every support option costs money, isn't there a bug reporting
e-mail address?)

I submitted your info to Microsoft this afternoon.
