  23. Is anyone knowledgeable regarding what it would take to implement Icon
  24. under a third-party editing system like Microsoft Word or CodeWrite.
  25.  
  26. I understand that Word has some fancy external link capabilites.  The
  27. people who develop Mathematica have a runtime link to Microsoft Word
  28. that lets Word act as the interface to Mathematica.  They also have
  29. something like that for Excel.
  30.  
  31. The Icon editor is OK but with probably just a little effort, we could
  32. exploit the full power of real word processors.
