Those who have never had a migraine headache cannot fully appreciate how
good it feels when a migraine headache stops.
I've noticed in my 2007 Word there is no office assistant, either it
didn't get installed or it doesn't have it.
Previously, in oder versions, the office assistant would pop up, like a
little paper clip, asking me.."I see you are writing a letter, would you
like help with that?"
NO!!!! Go away you stupid talking paper clip!
I know you could disable it and I would now and then, but seems like
it would always come back. I finally changed it to a red smiley face which
wasn't quite so bad and I could throw it across the screen when it got in my
way.

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
