Yeah, I'll be hanging on to 2003 for quite some time, too. But 2007 IS way
cool...I'm enjoying MOST of it so far.

Oh, I'll recommend that she try this order of operations if it happens
again. I wasn't entirely surprised to hear that the assistant got
corrupted - there are some buggy things in Office, definitely. And I
agree with you, Office XP is my least favorite version - I am a HUGE
2003 fan. They'll have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers when they
release the next version (if they ever do, LOL). Thanks for the tip
Dian!

Okay, this has happened to me, too and it's one of the reasons why I
don't
bother using Office XP anymore (I hated that version...loved 2000, love
2003).
To get it fixed...FIRST clear out your temp folder (see
www.mousetrax.com/maintain.html).
But here's the fix I used...
* when I get the Office Assistant error while working (switching between
version, which is a common cause) of Word...
* I flip over to Outlook (which I always have open) because OL seems to
work
with the assistant better. And because I always have OL open, I have
learned
that the Office assistant (Rocky in my case) can become corrupt in Word
when
I switch version, but with OL open all the time, Rocky still appears in
the
open version of OL. So I move to OL and turn him off from there. If he's
not
on, I turn him on and then turn him off.
* Then I reopen Word and that has fixed the problem each time I've tried
it.
Give it a shot. Good luck.=20
