- MS Office 4.2 is too new to run. The problem is that the latest
- releases of MS products (Word 6, Excel 5, etc.) require OLE to be
- running to work. If OLE isn't running they fire up a sub-process to
- make it go, but we don't yet support sub-processes.
-
- Sorry, but Word 5 and Excel 4 run well. I'm not sure that any
- versions of PowerPoint run nicely, we only have the version that's too
- new.
