Over time, thousands of users have helped Microsoft to test new versions of Internet Assistant for Microsoft Word and Microsoft Internet Explorer. This beta is released in conjunction with Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 beta. Though there is no new authoring functionality introduced in Internet Assistant version 2.03 beta, we have improved and updated several important components of Internet Assistant for Microsoft Word 2.0.
