Word 2003 - Office Assistant

[Just Nancy]

Yes, the moving paper clip. Word 2003. I seem to have no option to change
the assistant. Can the Office Assistant be changed in Word 2003?
If I right click the Office Assistant, I get a dialog box that states:
Hide, Options, Choose Assistant, Animate. If I choose Options, then click
Gallery, I get a dialog box that states that "There is not enough memory
available to complete this operation? Choose Assistant does nothing.

So what gives? I wish to change the Office Assistant but cannot. All I get
is the paper clip.

Hi Nancy,

I had to wait until I was working with a 2003 machine...

FWIW, I can show the Office Assistant, flip through the Gallery and choose a
different one. It does ask me to install what I've chosen (because I know I
explicitly did NOT install all the OAs), but I don't get the message you're
seeing.

Have you restarted Windows since you posted this? Can you now change the OA?

Having the same problem, cannot seem to work it out.

Anyone have any suggestions for this one?
