Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs. Select the Office 2003 item in
the list and click the Change button. When the dialog opens, leave "Add or
Remove Features" selected and click the Next button. On the next page, check
the box for "Choose advanced customization of applications". On the final
page, expand the Office Shared Features item in the tree, click the Office
Assistant item, and choose "Run from my computer". Then click the Update
button.

You may be asked to insert the Office installation CD if the necessary files
weren't stored on your hard drive when Office was first installed.
