Anita...sounds like you have installed on your machine a pluggin that does
that to key words and phrases. Does everyone in your group, with different
machines, experience the same thing?

Subject: Advertising Insanity!
I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing insanity with Internet
advertising, and how you're handling it. The tech writing tie-in is
that our product is all web based, including the help files, (of
course). I was walking through our help files yesterday through IE 6.0
and I started noticing strange hyperlinks underlined in specific words
(such as "database"). I know I didn't link it to anything. When I
hovered over the link, I got a little message "Oracle... No. 1 Database
on the market! Fastest performance on your fastest computer." Clicking
the link takes me to the following: http://www.oracle.com/start/unbreakableoracle/intro_unbreakable_rac.html
