SYMPTOMS
When you use Internet Explorer 5 to view a discussion Web site, the Insert Discussion in the Document button may become unavailable.



RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, disable the discussion feature, and then re-enable this feature.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Internet Explorer 5.0.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem only occurs when viewing a discussion Web site that starts a frame set. For example, if you select a Microsoft Word 2000 document, you can create an inline discussion on the page. You receive the standard Internet Explorer 5 Discussion toolbar on the bottom of the page, with the option to insert an "inline" discussion. If you then select a Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 document, the inline discussion button on the toolbar is now disabled; as with PowerPoint documents, you can only have "document" discussions, not inline discussions. Note that even if you now select a Word 2000 document, the icon for inserting an inline discussion is still disabled. You can open up any other document or standard Web pages, and the functionality remains disabled.
