not true; I won't pretend and say that ALL windows based programs behave
this way, of course I haven't seen them all, but I can say that SQL
Server/Enterpise Manager does, and so does a non-MS reporting product I've
used called Brio (you've probably not heard of it). So at minimum, I can
say that this behavior *is not* peculiar to MS-Office products.
