Hey, that's OK.  We have an NT machine in the office that we share for
those "killer apps" from Redmond.  Someone has screwed Word7 to the point
that it just displays a bunch of binary garbage where images should be and
occasionaly puts a word or two in different fonts...

I'd try to fix it, but since a reinstall of Word didn't help...  Who
really has a day to waste?

Lesson:  Office sucks.  Office emulators suck when emulating it.  Just be
thankful you have a suite you can run in 'native' mode on your OS of
choice...
