How do I load other Office Asst for Office 2000

[FiDe]

My office PC is using Window 2000 and the only Office Assistant I can access
is the paper clip. How do I load Felix the cat.

The PC in on a Network.

You can go to the Agent page to find all the other agents
(assistants).

http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/default.asp

Under Downloads, click User Downloads and you can get the various
agent actor files. Just unzip them and click the EXE file and they'll
be installed. Then you can change them via Clippy by just right
clicking on him and selecting Choose Assistant.

I'm not sure they'll all work in Off2k, so you'll have to experiment.

You can't load Felix as that character is coded with non-supported code in
Office 2000 and later.

Huh?

I've had Peedy, Planey, Genie, Max, Sharky and the gang running in
Office XP and 2003 for ages? Maybe I'm missing who "Felix"
is...besides being an MVP<g>...I thought he was that scrawny black
smartalec cat? Cos' I've got him working in Office XP and 2003, too.

Granted...it messes up in Office 2000...just checked...but they work
in the other versions, no problem. Not sure if that's due to multi
versions and the combination of those guys, but whenever I have one
open and switch to O2K I get an error that the asst isn't installed
right and they won't show in that version.

So to the user...sorry, they don't seem to work in Office 2000...but
they're running for me just fine in XP and 2003.
