Office Assistant Icon Not Displayed Correctly in MOM Toolbar

• Microsoft Office Assistant for Windows, version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Office Assistant, the Microsoft Office Assistant icon on the MOM toolbar may be displayed incorrectly.

CAUSE

Some video drivers cause the background color of the Office Assistant icon to be displayed incorrectly.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the OAGRABTN.BMP bitmap for the Office Assistant toolbar button instead of the OABUTTON.BMP bitmap (the bitmap that is installed initially).

Note that the background for this bitmap is permanently set to gray; this color may not be appropriate for the colors that you have selected in Windows Control Panel.

To use OAGRABTN.BMP, do the following:

1. From the Microsoft Office menu, choose Customize.

2. On the Toolbar tab, select Microsoft Office Assistant, and choose the Edit button.

3. In the Edit Program Item dialog box, select OAGRABTN.BMP from the list of images in the Button Image list box, and then choose OK.

4. Choose the OK button again to close the Customize dialog box.
