Re: How do you get rid of the twisted Word paper-clip?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

You can also put this line in an AutoExec() macro

Assistant.Visible = False

If you don't have one yet, the entire macro would be

Sub AutoExec()
' This kills 'clippy'
Assistant.Visible = False
End Sub

This runs every time I start Word. I must say, one of my pet peeves it the
implication the programmers think I am dumber than a bent wire.

It will make you happy to know that Clippy died when Office 2003 was
released. Me he rest in peace.

1. Right click on the assistant
2. Select Options
3. On the Options tab uncheck the box beside Use the Office Assistant

When I want to fiddle under the bonnet of a computer and do some hard
programming, I focus my mind for the job and do it with pleasure.
When I am hard at writing text on platforms made accessible to the vulgus
mobile, I have no appetite for sifting through the morass of irrelevant
trivia the Masters of your Minds have put in my way, as some
drip-awakening
tweasers. One of them shows as an all seeing paper-clip on a stick-on
note.
It keeps jumping about the screen, always sucking the creative juices
dry.
Not good.
OK?
