Can't get documentation comment to generate info on thrown exceptions

Has anyone got the exception tag to generate documentation in Visual
Studio?
The doc. alledges that you can use

<exception cref="member">description</exception>

in the following manner:

/// <summary>A method</summary>
/// <param name="i">A parameter</param>
/// <exception cref="Exception">It's all gone horribly
wrong...</exception>
public void foo(int i) {...

However, the generated documentation (Tools->Build Comment Web
Pages...) doesn't contain any exception data. If you generate the XML
Doc File in the Configuratin Properties it contains exception data,
and NDoc works fine.
We're using Visual Studio 7.1.3088.
