Windows XP SP3 SeaMonkey 2.13.2 As I recall, the last time I requested SeaMonkey to open a .doc file from a Web page's link, the file opened in a separate Word window and not in the browser window. I think this is because there is no Word plugin for the browser to use. Of course, this was sufficiently long ago that it might have been with Windows 98 instead of Windows XP; and it might have been with Mozilla Suite instead of SeaMonkey. -- David E.
