Hi You can have both the 3.3.3 and the 3.4.2 installed alongside each other and open the same document with either. It is not easy and there is a guide on how to do it because the straight-forwards route can create problems. I don't have the address of the guide easily available here :( Apols and regards from Tom :)

Since I am writing a thesis with a lot of footnotes, I didn't had the choice to return back to 3.3 until the issue is properly resolved. I think that it is unprofessionnal to leave a bug in a software that is supposed to be a direct competitor of ms office.
