Windows Internet Explorer

One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either:

1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or
2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls.

As a result, the page may not display correctly.

How to get this message:

1. Create a document in MS Word (version is Office 2003).
2. Copy the contents.
3. Switch to Outlook and create a new message
4. Paste.

What's Internet Explorer doing getting involved here?

Incidentally, once you click "OK", which is the only thing you can do, the text is properly copied into the message body. Presumably the text I was trying to paste in represents some kind of security breach, but I don't have any further steps to take, and Outlook cheerfully sends the message without complaint.

Thanks for the heads up, Internet Explorer.
