When you install Microsoft Office 2000, only one Office
Assistant is fully installed. The Clippit character is installed by default.
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
Genius Genius.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 seven 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 will install 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.
- Use the right mouse button to click the Office Assistant
and 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 you want, click OK.
If your Office installation source is not available, you will
be prompted to insert it (if you installed from a compact disc), or you will be
prompted to connect to the network drive you installed Office from.
