Micrsoft Word assitants

I know the little paper clip guy is not always very helpful, but occasionally I do use him to fimd information. I wanted to change my guy to something else. I followed the directions and went to the gallery and it said (big red X) There is not enough memory available to complete this operation. It is a new computer using Vista for now waiting to upgrade to Windows 7 MS Office 2003 ??? So just curious what might be going on?

I found the intructions here

I am on Vista Home Preminum (upgraded to SPK2) with Office Professional 2007 and the Assistant is no longer Available in Office 2007

But apparently you are not the only one with this problem out there... see these

Ok followed the directions in the 2nd link also disabled some other features like Japanese and Chinese languages to create more memory found a couple other features I had been wanting. So I am now happy Thank You Pep!
