Where is Link?

A lot of the 'office assistant' characters are not installed by default.
After you chose the Cat did office actually install the cat character? I
don't use the office assistant but I have just gone through the procedure
and upon selecting the office assistant a message appeared saying that the
office assistant plug-in wasn't installed and that office needed to install
it. (help>show the office assistant) The next thing I did was select the Cat
as the office assistant from the character list. Once again a message
appeared to say it wasn't installed do I want to install it. After answering
'yes' the Cat was installed.
I suggest you open an Office application, I.e., Word etc and then click on
Help in the main toolbar. From the drop down menu look to see if 'Show the
office assistant' is visible. if it is click on it and the office assistant
should rush to do your bidding.

Run Office Setup. Select the option to add components. Go through the
choices to find Links the C. Make the necessary choices to install it and
follow the on screen prompts to complete.

I am NOT speaking of Office. I have Link in Office. I wish to have it on
WinXP Search too! I cannot find a way....

Okay, okay! You do need it installed first. Since you have Links in Office
it is installed. Open Search. Then click on the dog. A new menu appears.
One of the choices is "Choose a different animated character."

PS: I use Links the Cat in Office and in Search instead of the dog too.
