office assistant is driving me batty

[ginny]

Hi,

I'm new to posting, excuse me if this has been covered. I
chose to NOT install the office assistant when I installed
Office. Now when I try to do anything even slightly
difficult in Powerpoint it prompts me to install the office
assistant. I have to click on the dialoge box to say "Not
to install" EACH TIME! This happens many, many times while
I'm using office and it's driving me to the point of
wanting to install the lil' clippy just so I can turn it
off. Do I have to do this? Thanks!!!

I think when you installed Office, the Office Assistant was tagged to
install on first use. The thing to do is to put your Office CD in the
drive, run Setup.exe, when the menu appears select Add/Remove features, and
then locate Office Assistant in the list of features and set it to "Not
Available".

You can also fix this by re-installing the Office Assistant, opening one of
your Office Programs, ask a question, when the assistant comes up, click the
"Options" button, then unclick everything you don't want the Office
Assistant to come up for. Basically it is installed but never accessed.
