Office Assistant Balloon

[Oak]

Could someone please tell me what VBA code to use - method
or property technique, to have the assistant provide a
space in the balloon that will allow for user entered text
that will be returned for me to work with?

Thank you

AFAIK it is not possible to have the Office Assistant
window accept text. Is there a reason why you can't use an
InputBox?? You could use it together with the Assistant.

The only other approach I can think of is to use the
Microsoft Agent instead of the Assistant:

I'm not sure you can do what you want with the Agent,
either, but there's a possibility... which there isn't
AFAIK with the Assistant. The Agent is also capable of
speech, and accepting speech commands.
