"Looks like you're writing a letter - would you like me to totally ***** it up for you!"

Don't think of it as sad. Think of it this way: Clippy has gone on to a better place, a place beyond the reach of the bitter bile spewed by clippiphobes, a place where tuftetaunts never reach his ears. He'll be happier there. Well, I for one do think it's sad. Getting help with the office assistant was so "sterile" as it is now in 2007. I've also had quite a few snags in getting things to work in the new version of office because you have to know what ridiculous name they've given the option. If I hadn't remembered the keyboard shortcuts, I would have been lost trying to print a word document when I first started using the new version. They added this "comic relief" character back in Office 97 and through the years it's been a way for me to keep my sanity when I'm stuck in Excel or Word. It was also fun to have my cats looking for where the other cat was that was purring. Maybe that's why one of them thinks that the top of my monitor is where she belongs. So in my humble opinion, not all change is change for the better. > > Oh, that's sad. > > Don't think of it as sad.

No need for grief: You can download Clippy as an Add-In: http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/entertainment/clippy/ But bad news for your cat: They only offer the paperclip, not the cat. @Steve: Wouldn't this link be worth an entry in the "fun" section of the FAQ? Best regards, Ute SignatureUte Simon Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team und PowerPoint-User-Team Schon gesehen? www.ppt-user.de/blogger und www.ppt-tv.de I think Vox Proxy also can use the cat in full presentation mode, if you are still on XP. However I think it was put down in Vista. Bill D. >> Well, I for one do think it's sad.
