Assistants in Office 2004 - Only Max?

[Ramón G Castañeda]

In previous versions of Office, one could install other Office assistants
from the Gallery of assistants. I can't find the other assistants anywhere
on the Office 2004 install CD to add to that gallery, and only Max is
available. I find Max's antics very distracting and have always preferred
the simple puzzle icon.

Is there a way to get any of the other choices back?

Thanks in advance.

That's true, extra assistants are not included with Office 2004. However,
if you happen to have an earlier version of Office that did include
additional assistants, simply insert the old version's CD, navigate to
Office CD/Value Pack/Assistants, and copy the assistant(s) you want to
HD/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Assistants. They'll then
become available to you.

Thanks a million, Mickey!

I still have Office X on the hard drive and I do have the original Office X
install CD.

Regards.

When you copy an Office X assistant to Office 2004, how do you set the
preference to open that rather than Max?

Hi Norman,

Click on the assistant and click the "Options" button to choose which
assistant you want to use.
