(apologies for the crosspost).
When saving as Web Page (either Filtered or not- see P.S. below), Word 2007
mucks up drawings that contain text. This did not happen with Word 2003 (or
earlier for that matter). The text produced is horribly unreadable.

Screenshots:

Word 2007 is absolutely UNUSABLE for creating technical documentation
because of this. I hate this! Why destroy a perfectly working feature? Was
this release even QA'd?

P.S.
Saving as Web Page (not filtered) produces the same result... except you
wouldn't know it unless you used a browser other than IE! Before some "MVP"
suggests this option, check it out for yourself first.

Worked out it with an MVP in a different group (again sorry for the
crosspost).
It seems to be a bug with Office 2007. It affects
1) *Inline* textboxes (not floating ones apparently).
2) All Callouts and text in a Drawing Canvas.
