Indeed. I find Help very unhelpful on this score, by the way. The fact that
there is a Help item to Show the Office Assistant makes me wonder if I
actually do have it installed and have just never allowed it to show itself.

This assumes you actually want an Office Assistant. I have been using
Office 2003 for years and have never had one installed. There's a Help
setting somewhere to disable it (a toggle on the Help menu, for one).

I just downloaded Word 2003 on to my new Dell Laptop with XP
Professional.
Occasionally when I open a Word document, new or otherwise, I get the
following window message: "There are no office assistant character
files
present on the system. Pleas run Setup in maintenance mode and install
at
least one character."
What is this about and how can I fix it? I did some exploration trying
to
take care of the problem with no luck.
Thanks
