SUMMARY
When you install Microsoft Office XP, only one Office Assistant is fully installed. The Clippit character is installed by default.
MORE INFORMATION
When you run the Office Setup program and click
Install Now, the following Office Assistants and their associated files are installed in the Office folder:
Assistant File
--------- ----
Clippit Clippit.acs, Clippit.acg
Dot Dot.acg
F1 F1.acg
Logo Logo.acg
Links Offcat.acg
MotherNature Mnature.acg
Rocky Rocky.acg
Note that the Clippit character installs two files, Clippit.acs (actor file) and Clippit.acg (preview file). The other six actors install preview files (.acp), so that you can preview these characters on the
Gallery tab of the
Office Assistant dialog box.
When you change the Office Assistant, the .acs file for that particular
character is installed in the Office folder. The Office Assistant uses the "Install on first use" method, which minimizes hard disk space and the initial installation time.
To change Office Assistants, follow these steps:
- Display the Office Assistant, if it is not currently displayed, by clicking Show the Office Assistant on the Help menu.
- Right-click the Office Assistant, and then click
Choose Assistant on the shortcut menu.
- On the Gallery tab, click either
Back or Next to preview the available Office Assistants.
When you locate the one that you want, click OK.
If your Office installation source is not available, either you
will be prompted to insert it (if you installed from a CD-ROM), or you will be prompted to connect to the network drive from which you installed Office.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
