Office 2004 assistants?

[Mark]

Overall, I'm *really* pleased with the Office 2004 upgrade, but I've
got one silly little problem: the Office Assistant gallery is empty,
except for the default computer icon. (I want the little dog back!)
I can't find a place on the install disk to add the additional
assistants, and I'm wondering if they're still there ...

Thanks!

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 for the info! I'll do as you suggested ...

If this is the case, BTW, it would be nice if Microsoft made its
now-orphaned assistants available for online download.

Good idea--send Feedback under Help, they aren't taking notes here.

Actually, I believe they may intend to do just that.
