What is "run Setup in maintenance mode"?

[Simon G]

Something has happened to my Office XP, sometimes I get a message when I go
into Word, or Excel, or PowerPoint:
"There are no Office Assistant character files present on the system. Please
run Setup in maintenance mode and install at least one character".
What is meant by running setup in maintenance mode?
