Office Assistant

[acmank]

I have a new MacBook with OSX and MS OFFICE with WORD 2004 - I'd love
to get back my old Office Assistant "Clipit" on my screen but
"Options" is grayed out and only "the box" seems available to me - any
suggestions? I'm using, by the way, the "educator's version" of
Office 2004 but I've been assured that the version is a full one and
should contain various "assistants".

Thanks

The assurance that you have the "full one" may be accurate, but that it
"should contain various assistants"... Not so much - Max is the only one
that made it into Office:Mac 2004. If you have Office X still available to
you the others can be brought over & used in 2004, but I'm not certain of
exactly how - Never use the little buggers myself You can search this
newsgroup & the microsoft.public.mac.office group for details - or perhaps
someone will be along to provide the instructions.

The assistants can be copied from a CD (or installation) of Office 98,
Office 2001, or Office X. I forgot where you find them on the CD, but
you drag them onto your computer and put them in
Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Assistants--where you will
already see Max.

Thank you Bob and Daiya - actually, I have WORD 2000 on a PC and will
give it a try. ACM

Sorry but that *ain't* gonna work - any more than would installing PC Office
in Mac OS X... The parts aren't interchangeable either You need the
Assistant package from a *Mac* version of Office (as Daiya listed).
