Leave it to Microsoft to drop one of your favorite assistants Since I searched and couldn find any way to add another assistant back into office XP (only found help with Office 97), I decided to trick the existing office XP version by renaming one of the existing office assistants and replacing it with the genius office assistant. It worked Copy Genius files from Office 2000 C GENIUS.AC GENIUS.ACS or if you still have 1 old office 2000 application: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office In the Office XP location for Office Assistants C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office1 In the above directory copy over both Genius file GENIUS.AC GENIUS.ACS So had to fool the new XP office that genius was F1.ACS and F1.AC Rename existing F1 assistant files to (F1-old.ACG, and F1-old.ACS) Then rename a Copy of Genius files {GENIUS.ACG & GENIUS.ACS} to F1.ACG and F1.ACS This way when Office XP looks up F1, it will actually be GENIUS >> It worked
