Jim, Re: What I'm wondering is whether there is some kind of watermark being put on all Office documents? This kind of software registration scheme has been around for some time but I very much doubt there is a unique 'watermark' on each copy of Office(or Windows in the future). I used similar technique in my stuff but I still want to know how Microsoft do it. Will try to install 2 copy of Office on separate machine and see what comes out :-) Gary

Jim, OT Apparently MS has now enacted a mandatory registration of Office 2000 or any of it's components inc. Frontpage. If you don't want to register it you get 50 uses and then it quits unless you register. When did this start? I have had Office2k for since it came out, and I was never prompted to register. Joe
