I have yet to see it. A new GLCS user has made the claim, but I am
awaiting examples. We publish a lot of content in AGL, and will be
publishing a whole lot more with AGL and Flash, and wanted to hear if the
errors were known or repeatable by others. I'll keep you posted.

Uh-huh. And the guy that wrote Melissa found it extremely easy to exploit
this "great" software, and, incidently, the upload of that exploit to a
use-list like this one is what caused panic, monetary loss and
mass-confusion across the world--with the noteable exception of
fruit-flavored users using the same products, only less vulnerable.

My point *exactly*. Hide. As in "hidden", as opposed to merely covered.
As in "what the hell do I have to do to fix this, and why do I have to
bother an entire use-list, and find a *private* website to explain to me
how to do it, rather than it just being obvious, like in the
fruit-flavored version of the same?".
[insert flame protection here]
Look, I use, have used, and make a living using (in part) MS products
extensively for the better part of two decades, thus, I know from whence
I speak. I do not badmouth that which is not deserved. They do a lot of
things right (Excel, PP, most of Outlook), and, as simple odds would have
it, a lot of things wrong (Word, NT, Windows). It's their response and
efforts to correct those issues with which I take the greatest exception.

going to take more than a bucket of water, this time. Got fruit?"
