I want Office Assistant guys that were in Office 97 but not 2003I

[Sue F]

There were a couple of Office Assistants that I loved. They're still on the
download site, but they will only work with Office 97. Of course, over the
years I've graduated to Office 2003 and the new computer has its own copy ...
not an upgrade. Is there any way to resurrect those old cuties?

I don't think so.. they were written in such a way that Office 2003 can't
handle them..

Thanks, Mike
I figured that was the problem but thought I'd ask. Any remote chance
Microsoft would update the little critters? The current ones are a little
bland compared.

No, probably not since they use an old and outdated file format.
