What happened to Microsoft Office Binder?

[Bookem]

I've used Binder with great success in previous versions of Office; I see
that it has disappeared. What has replaced it?

Nothing.

Nothing, it was last seen in Office 2000. You could install that one if
you wanted to keep using it.

The Binder feature is not included with Office XP or 2003. But
if you still own a copy of Office 95, 97, or 2000, you can
custom-install Binder from the previous version. See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=822622 "Description of Office
Binder support with Office 2003 and Office XP products" for more
information.

Thanks, but IT probably won't (okay, definitely won't!) allow it here at
work; guess I could use it at home....

Never hurts to ask, it may be a popular "feature" with the management folks!
