Yeah, there's always cases like that, I suppose. They don't work with IE6 under crossover office (it sounds like you already tried)? On Fri, 13 Aug 2004 13:39:49 -0700, Steve Lamb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > John Summerfield wrote: > > As for the advisability of running Internet Exploder at all,

For anyone who happens to stumble across this or what-not, I ended up messing with Crossover Office a bit, and eventually got it to install IE6. So far it works quite well, other than a few (realitively minor) glitches in displaying things like combo boxes and such. Thanks for all the suggestions.
