Hi Shaun,
You may find that the following process works to bring Rocky back to play in Office 2003 on Vista.
First, run Detect & Repair in Office 2003 to be sure it's working correctly and that the Local Installation Source files are intact
(have your CD available). Then
a. Close all Office 2003 applications.
b. Launch Windows 'Uninstall or change a program' in the Vista Control Panel.
c. Select Change for your Microsoft Office 2003 product from the list of installed products
d. Turn on the 'Add or Remove Features' choice in the next dialog and choose 'Next'.
e. Choose 'advanced customization of applications', on the next dialog and click 'Next'.
f. In the 'Advanced Customization' dialog, expand the tree to find the Office Assistant you want to use by clicking on the plus
sign next to 'Office Shared Features', then the plus sign in the next level down for 'Office Assistant'.
g. In the list of Office Assistant characters, click on the disk drive button for the one you want to use and set it to 'Run from My
Computer' state from the popup.
h. Select and Set *all* other Office Assistant characters to either the 'Install on First Use' or 'Not Available' and complete the
'setup' run.
i. Start Word 2003 and you should get an error message that you want to reply *NO* to (even though you'd think the answer would be
yes <g>. That error message is
"The selected Assistant character is not available. The feature is not currently installed. Would you like to install it now?".
j. The newly installed/selected character (Rocky?) should now be available.
