Yep, Microsoft is always ignoring the established standards, making up
their own rules, and then trying to enforce everyone else to do things
their way - not only with Office, but more so with the Internet thanks
to the virtual monopoly of Internet Explorer (now thankfully fading). 

Web developers often have to write code specifically to get Explorer to
do what it should, or lazy developers (especially in Government
websites) insist on you using Explorer so they don't have to cater for
the other browsers which are actually doing things the correct way. :-(
