- Well, I hope wp4win includes this control in the next version. I just
- started playing with the new dialog boxes. They're great, but there
- are too many parameters to include, so it takes too long. If wp is
- smart, they'll include a dialog box toolbar something like visual basic
- in their next version. You can be sure word will have something like
- that, and I hope wp won't once again be playing catchup, with all us
- users drooling at what everybody else has.
