alpha transparent 24 bit PNG in IE

I've been trying to display alpha transparent 24 bit PNGs in IE. I've
located a couple of different sources e.g. sleight from youngpup.net but
I'm wondering how MS Word does it. I had a look at the source that Word
creates and, to me, it's jumble of styles, XML, conditional comments,
and random bits of code.

Can someone recommend a way that works with IE 5?

In IE you have to use the AlphaImageLoader filter to correctly display
a PNG's transparency.

<img src="empty.gif"
style="filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Al phaImageLoader(
src=image.png);"

empty.gif is a gif image with a single transparent pixel.
