Note that you can dismiss the Office Assistant window by clicking the Close button in the upper-right corner of the Office Assistant window while the custom Office Assistant balloon is displayed.

To do this, use Visual Basic for Applications macros that are similar to the following examples:
When you run the BalloonTest Sub procedure, the Office Assistant window
appears and displays the custom balloon. When you click OK in the balloon,
the Goodbye Sub procedure runs and displays a message box. When you dismiss
the message box, the Office Assistant balloon disappears. This behavior is
correct.
If you set the Callback property so that it refers to a misspelled macro name or an incorrect location, the problem described in this article occurs. NOTE: In Microsoft Word 97 and Microsoft PowerPoint 97, if you set the Callback property to refer to a macro that exists in another module, you must specify the module name before the macro name. For example, if you move the macro Goodbye to Module3, change the code to the following:
If you do not specify the module name, the problem occurs when you display
the custom Office Assistant balloon. In Microsoft Excel 97, this is not
required if the macro exists in the same workbook.
