My suggestion would be to install at least one Office Assistant, and
then turn it off as described in
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=290151 "How to modify or remove
Office Assistant Help in Office XP".

I don't like the office assistant, I therefore didn't install install it.
Word keeps asking if I want to install it, I guess when it would come up if I
had installed it. Is there a way I can get Word to stop asking? Thanks
