Word Templates rendering report in Internet Explorer

I have been working on a Word Templates case for the past 2 weeks and just got to the bottom of the problem, hence I felt the need to pause and blog about it.

As the title of this article suggests, the client is using Word Templates to generate a nice looking PO for their vendors.
