What does "run Setup in maintenance mode" mean?

[pam p]

All of a sudden I am getting this message whenever I try to boot any Office
program: "There are no Office Assistant character files present on the sytem.
Please run Setup in maintenance mode and install at least one character."
I've done a search for this and can't find anything. What does this mean???

Go to Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs. Highlight your Office Program,
and select Change. Your choices are there on screen.

Thank you! ... It just so happened that I restarted my computer and the
statement went away. I'm printing your reply for future reference as well.
Thanks again.
