Yes, there are problems in this area, and Word gets the query criteria wrong
as you have noticed.
In this case it is probably worth trying to reconnect using DDE, assuming
you have Excel on your system (check Word Tools|Options|General|"Confirm
conversions at open", then go through the process of selecting your data
source again). Word will probably make a better job of generating the
correct query from your Advanced options if you do that.
Otherwise, do you also have Access?

For "why" questions, you really have to
a. come to your own conclusions as to what a commercial organisation is
likely to focus on when producing a new release
b. ask the authors.
Personally, as far as (a) is concerned, I would rather commercial
organisations focussed on fixing known problems, but that doesn't seem to be
how it is and
(b) I am just a volunteer.
