Oh, right, Reggie. IE, it's so modular, it's integrated, or vice versa, depending on the context. If you have IE4/5 and office 97/2000 installed, any MSFT file format opened by the browser transforms the browser's interface to that of the native application that created the document, an Office application - the most widely used application interface available. These interfaces are practically identical to the IE interface except for the native commands of the Office file. That was a lot of mumbo jumbo in two sentences. It automatically transforms the interface into the native application interface, which is practically identical to the IE interface. So, has IE turned into Word, or vice versa? And what does this do on your generic information appliance, when you hit a Word document? Cheers, Dan.
