              Appeal No. 2006-2106                                                                                          
              Application No. 09/837,632                                                                                    

                     Rather than reiterate the opposing arguments, reference is made to the brief                           
              (filed October 12, 2005) and the answer (mailed February 9, 2006) for the respective                          
              positions of Appellants and the Examiner.  Only those arguments actually made by                              
              Appellants have been considered in this decision.  Arguments which Appellants could                           
              have made but chose not to make in the brief have not been considered (37 CFR §                               
              41.37(c)(1)(vii)).                                                                                            
                                                        OPINION                                                             
                     In rejecting the claims, the Examiner relies on Miksovsky for teaching the claimed                     
              steps of searching for a predetermined error number, retrieving a message                                     
              corresponding to that number and applying the error message to a text based format                            
              and on Hind for disclosing a method for applying an input message document to a style                         
              sheet to create a form for display (answer, page 4).  Based on the teachings of these                         
              two prior art references, the                                                                                 














                                                             3
