Office Assistants

[Scott Ward]

I have a custom Office Assistant (like Rocky, Clipit, etc - you know, the
things everyone hates) that I'd like to use with my copy of Office X.

It's written in a Windows .acs file.

Is there any way to get it working in Office X, or am I just screwed?

Thanks!

The avatars are not cross-platform - they use an entirely different type
of animation, IIRC.

If you want the ability to customize avatars, send feedback to MacBU
using the Help/Feedback on <app> menu item in any Office app. If enough
like-minded people do, they may decide to create a customization tool.
