MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / August 2006Lost the office assistant!
Whilst working in Excel, I quickly dragged the office assistant out of the way to the right, and it disappeared completely off the spreadsheet. I can hear it running, how do I get it back? TIA tox You're kidding ... aren't you?

It's still running and making suggestions I can no longer see. Therefore, the bad news is, I can't close down unless I use Control Alt Delete, which means losing my work! This is a real PITA. Having the same problem in Word :-( Any suggestions? Cheers tox tox, Try changing your screen resolution to a higher value (Control Panel - Display - Settings). That might bring it onto the screen. Keep saving your work. Not being able to reboot is like being Charlie on the MTA. He didn't have a nickel for the fare increase, so he had to ride the train endlessly. His wife brought him a sandwich every day (guess she didn't want him back very badly).

However, unlike Charlie who's fate is still unlearned, I fear the Office "Assistant" will always find a way to return.

That might bring it onto the screen. Many thanks, worked a treat... tox I don't use the assistant, so this is a guess... Can you use the mouse keys to move him (even if you can't see him (er, it??)). Maybe that'll get him to a visible location. If that doesn't work, maybe you can cheat. Save your work (file|save) and close excel and word (and anything else that uses that thingy). Then use windows start button|Search to look for a folder named Actors (it's buried on your pc somewhere) Rename that folder to DeadActors Then any of the Office Suite of programs won't be able to find the assistant and you'll be back to getting "normal" prompts. I have no idea if these normal prompts will be visible, though. > Whilst working in Excel, I quickly dragged the office assistant out of the > way to the right, and it disappeared completely off the spreadsheet.
