Update: Justin C. writes: "I had the this problem with 4.5 several weeks ago. What I found is that RealPlayer Plus 5.0 doesn't install the RealPlayer plugin alias into Communicator's Plugin folder. It works after I manually make an alias of the RP plugin and put it in."

Pascal Hetzscholdt points out that if you copy and paste text from Internet Explorer to word processor, most text styling (such as font size and bold) is maintained. However, Netscape browsers, including Communicator 4.5, still do not do this.

Speaking of IE vs. Netscape comparisons, Communicator 4.5 still does not load previously cached pages as fast as Explorer.
