LemOnJello,
Thanks for the reply. I'm attaching a MS Knowledge base article the purports to describe how to install the entire BookShelf suite on the hardrive. Problem is - it doesn't work, at least not with Windows 98SE, and it's somewhat of an inconvenience to have to stick the CD into the CDROM slot everytime you want to access a certain feature. So much for Microsoft (I don't know why I expected more!).
Regards,
stick
