As I noted in my previous post, I won’t use third-party
patches. However, if I did, I would use an ACTUAL PATCH, not a registry hack.

This article at DarkReading.com talks about a patch for the flaw. It is not a patch, it is a registry hack or tweak. It is essentially the same thing Microsoft suggests by running Word in safe mode.

Come on, guys. Sheesh…
