Everytime I open microsoft word I keep getting this mesage

"There are no Ofice assistant character files present on the system Please
run setup in maintenance mode and install at least one chracter"
I have the characters in my Microsost outlook but not in word what gives
with this stupid character thing??

Thanks
Ben

I doubt that Word would be looking for them if you had disabled them.
There's an option in Help to use or not use the Office Assistant. If you
choose not to use the Assistant, presumably you won't get the message.

Did you run setup mode as instructed - select detect and repair from the
help menu?
