Issues that the hotfix package fixes

This hotfix package fixes the following issues that were not previously documented in a Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

•	Consider the following scenario. • You create a new content type in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. • You add a column to the content type. • You set the column type to Choice, and you leave the default value of the column blank. Additionally, you specify the column as a drop-down list. • You create a new document library. • You create a new document in this document library by using the new content type. In this scenario, the default value of the drop-down list is not blank. Notes • This issue does not occur if you delete all other content types in the document library. • This problem occurs when Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 works together with Microsoft Office Excel 2003 or with Microsoft Office Word 2003.
•	You create a new document in Microsoft Office 2003 by using a content type that is created in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. The content type contains a required column. When you do this, the column is displayed in the new document. However, the column does not have a mark to indicate that the column is required. Additionally, when you try to save the document without specifying a value for the required field, you receive the following error message: Cannot perform this operation. The file is no longer checked out or has been deleted.
•	You delete some content types from a document library in Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. However, some of these content types are still visible in Word 2003.
