I tried it in IE and FF, and do not have any problems. Maybe someone will
jump in here.

Nowhere in your original post(s) did you mention AOL. That could be an
issue.

Since nobody in their right minds uses AOHell <grin>, that could very well
be an issue.

Sorry, I can't help you with AOHell.

This sounds like a bug in MsWord 2000 that was fixed in Office 2000 SP1.
Are you using Word 2000?
