A co-worker is getting the message "There are no Office Assistant character
files present on the system. Please run Setup in maintenance mode and
install at least one character." She had run Excel earlier in the day and
no
message appeared; when she opened it this afternoon, it started showing
the
message.

Any idea what could have been done to make it start apearing?

Sorry about the late Friday afternoon answer, but the office assistant is
stupid. She shouldn't be using it anyway. Seriously....when you need help,
do you want clippy, a dog, or just some damned help?
