    Dim objApp As FrontPage.Application
    Dim objAsst As Assistant
    Set objApp = FrontPage.Application
    'Return a reference to the Office Assistant
    Set objAsst = objApp.Assistant
    With objAsst
       'Make assistant visible
       .Visible = True
       'Allow sounds during animations
       .Sounds = True
       'Move the Assistant out of the way when needed
       .MoveWhenInTheWay = True
    End With
