Installing Microsoft Office 2000

edited August 2004 in Software
I'm installing my Microsoft Office 2000 on my
Microtel on Windows 98SE. Do I need to know
anything I may have forgotten? It's configuring
now.

  • Don't install Office Assistant! Its annoying!

    Other than that, nope.
  • Thanks Roger ! (bounce)
    I don't know for sure but I may have messed that up
    already. I reckon I just took the stantard what ever
    that it puts on there if you don't custom.
    I'm looking at this FrontPage. I never did like it but
    I'll take another good look. I just don't like how it
    scatters the code everywhere.

    Do you see Mr. Clippy? If you don't then you've installed everything just fine.

    If you do see Mr. Clippy, prepare yourself for some annoyance.
  • No Roger
    I don't see Mr. Clippy so I guess I did that just fine.
    Uh, when I was running Office 4.3, it had this little
    bar up at the top. I just Programs/Microsoft Office Tools/
    Microsoft Office Shortcut Bar. I told it not to turn on when
    I booted up and got it up so I could just look at it.
    It's straight up and down on the right.
    How do I move it?

    Edit: Never mind, I got it but I liked the one on
    Office 4.3 better.
  • Whats wrong with the office assistent? I don't use him for help but I mess with when I get writers block ^_^
  • In Office:Mac you get a dancing Macintosh SE
  • mr clippy and that mac box should like rape eachother to make some gayass new assistance
  • Heh, Clippy-things are fun to play around with.
  • lmao!! what the hell are u talking about
  • Office Assistants. Commonly called clippy-things, because must people use Clippy as their Office Assistant.
  • Ahh! I loved when that Mac would turn into a rubiks cube had have legs sticking out! My SE(/30s) can whip it's sorry little flexible afs!

    And don't install Find Fast either.

  • Another whoops.

    Good wrap up. I suspected I didn't want that shortcut
    bar all the time.
    I hope to get a tutor for a little bit. She called a few
    minutes ago but I haven't brought it up yet. I'm not
    woke up good yet. She works for Community Health
    Center and they use Windows 2000 but she's got 98
    at home.
    I'm a pretty fast study if I see something done.
    Maybe I'll write a letter or something.

  • Oh Crap
    It's Microsoft Bob !
    When I started opening up programs it does have an office assistant.
    I don't know how to tell if I have findfast.
    I guess there's a way to kill Clippy?

  • to kill clippy right click and hide him!
  • Open your Control Panels, if you see something called 'FindFast' then you've got it.

    PS. I know XSetup has a plugin to kill OAs

    Just modify your installation by going to the Add/Remove Programs and make Office Assistant "Unavailable".

    I tried that Roger but it's not there.

    I made a disk image before I installed Office.
    I made another with Office installed. It weighs 216,201KBS.
    I put back the original image and will do a new Office
    custom install and not let it put them on there.
    It's took about 10 minutes so far.

    Edit: Done. No FindFast, no assistant, no shortcut bar and
    no photo editor for good measure. It's fine now.
    Thanks Guys

  • Yeah I used to have Photo Editor as my default scanning program.
