MORE INFORMATION
Even if Microsoft Graph 2000 was not installed during Setup, Microsoft Graph 2000 Chart still appears on the Object type list. Microsoft Office 2000 (Microsoft Word 2000) "advertises" features that are not installed.
NOTE: To view the Object type list, click Object on the Insert menu. The Object type list appears on the Create New tab.
The advertising of a feature means that the feature name appears on a menu where you would normally find the feature. When you first click on an advertised feature, Word prompts you with a message similar to the following:
This feature is not currently installed. Would you like to install it now?
