SUMMARY
To configure Netscape Navigator so that you can use a proxy server or an Internet service provider with Microsoft Office 97, you must install the Internet Control Panel icon. You can find this program on the Microsoft Office 97 compact disc. If you are using a stand-alone version of a Microsoft Office program, you can find the Control Panel program in the Microsoft Download Center.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

Inetcpl.exe
