Making the office assistant say stupid things

[Phil]

Is there a way to "hack into" the office assistant to change the
things he says?

E.g. instead of "It looks like you are about to write a letter", to
make him say "Don't even bother writing to them; they're not going to
read it anyway"?

I'm using Office 2000.

Thanks,
-Phil

Probably not.
You would need the original animations etc (which would probably be a breach
of copyright), and you would need to know how to re-build the Office
Assistant.

Hi Phil,

The MS Office Assistants are MS Agent v2 characters
and are programmable:
