[WEB4LIB] Re: IE 5.0

[Charity Hope]

The Web site www.xml.com has a very informative article about xml
implementation in IE5.  Identifies what works, how it works, and what's
still buggy.  (If you have IE5, you can look at the article in XML.)

Does both.  I just printed a selection from an article in text+graphics
form from ABI, and it gave me just what I marked, including a couple of
pix.  And, just did same from CNN.com page, choosing just a picture and a
part of a page.  Also printed both part and all of a table per selection
marking.
