Just wanted to drop a note about Microsoft's free software site:

http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/default.asp

This site contains numerous software downloads, beta releases, and
add-ons for all Microsoft products. Of particular interest (to me
anyway) were the add-ons for Access, Excel, Word, and Powerpoint.
One of the new add-ons is an Internet Assistant, which allows you to
save your documents/presentations as HTML documents. This is a
standard feature on the new Office 97 software, but was not available
until now on Office 95 or regular versions of the above listed
software. There are other add-ons as well, including a Macro virus
protection program. Whether you use these programs or not, it is
worth a look at this site for what is available free from Microsoft.
