Before I do this I would like to have your personal assurances that downloading
and installing the "ghost" files will not modify my Microsoft Office 2003
software.  I recently had a horrible experience with ROBO products which do
modify Word, Excel, etc.  Installing the ROBO software caused me to lose
features of Microsoft Office which I use daily.  It took a threat of a lawsuit
to get the mess off of my computer.

If you really don't know the answer, please do not hesitate to say so.  I went
through HELL with the ROBO stuff [There was no deinstaller no obvious way to
uninstall the hidden files and registry entries.] and do not wish to go through
anything like that again!  I'm sure you'll understand.
