[cw-discuss] sharepoint

I'm trying to get the following configuration working on ubuntu 7.10

Internet explorer 6.0
Word 2003

I use sharepoint, and need to be able to open a document from 
sharepoint, in ie 6, and edit it in word.  IE 6 works just fine, 
connects to sharepoint, which validates me.  I can check out the file.  
But, even though I have word 2003 installed, I cannot select "edit in 
microsoft word" from the sharepoint menu.  I get an error message that 
states I need an application that supports sharepoint.

I think that the problem might be that ie6 is installed in a windows98 
bottle, while office 2003 is installed into a separate bottle.

Any ideas?

I'm hoping I can get this working!
