If you open the .html file in word then I guess most of the album art
will not display correctly when opened from a different computer than
from which ACC was executed from. This is because of all the links to
the actual albumart files. The path to the album art should be exactly
the same on both computers for it to display ok on both computers.

There are two things you can do about it;
1. Print the catalog to a PDF file using a (free) PDF printer.
2. Open the generated .MHT file in Word and save it as word file. The
.MHT is a IE archive file. It will be much larger than a PDF file but
it does its job.

Please note that Office 2007 (and i think 2003 also) use there own HTML
renderer (not IE) and does not support i.e. the gradient background
behind the artist/album names. In Word this will be solid gray.

Hope this is an answer to your question?
