That Fucking PaperClip!!!!

[rtgwbmsr]

XP Luser, it's nice you got a webcam to take pictures of yourself with, but keep 'em to yourself, OK?

About the Paperclip...I like the second stage of the game where you get to staple the bastard. Revenge for the shit I put up with from that f0kker. Where I work , the settings reset after the computer shuts down, so the damn clip was back in the morning.

I liked the robot one. Especially when it swallows the bomb and explodes.

A-Fucking-Men!!! I think the dog is worse than the paperclip.

I'd love it if in their next office when the Office Assistant says "It looks like you're writing a letter..." one of the options would be: "It looks like you're going to fuck off..."

Stupid thing keeps saying I need flash, when I have it. Is it supposed to say that being the obnoxious turd that it is?

Paper clip cemetery

Nightmare: Clippy's come back from the dead! Yikes!
When someone told me that Clippy (Microsoft's cheerful, animated, paper clip-shaped office assistant) was gone forever, I danced on his grave. But before I could say abra cadaver, he came back, animated, and way too chipper on a Monday morning. I've tried confronting him with a flashlight, like they do in the movies, and now I'm all out of ideas. Plus, now I have some other gripes about the way Office XP dishes out help. Grrr!

--------------------------------------------------

Analysis
Office XP's help system suffers from several flaws; the notorious Office Assistant is just the most notable. We have other complaints about Office XP's help files. The Help window tends to cover up a substantial part of the document window, and there's no way to get rid of the Ask A Question box--the tiny, one-field toolbar at the top right of every Office app that sports the "Type a question for help" prompt.

With a bit of tweaking, however, you can train the Office help to do what you want.

Advice
Office XP is the first Microsoft suite that turns off the nagging Office Assistant, a.k.a. Clippy, by default. But Clippy can come back from the dead faster than Dracula from the grave if you or someone else activates him.

To get rid of the assistant, right-click the cartoon character paper clip, then choose Options from the resulting pop-up menu. Clear the check box beside the "Use the Office assistant" box and click OK. You can also permanently exorcise the assistant so that no one using the computer can resurrect him. Here's how: From the Start menu, select Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs, highlight Microsoft Office, click "Add or remove features," and hit Next. Under Office Shared Features, find Office Assistant, then click the small arrow and choose Not Available. Click the Update button to uninstall the assistant.

Good-bye Question box
Want to dump the Question box in an Office XP application, too? Microsoft makes this a bit harder but still doable. Choose Tools > Customize. Leave this dialog open but right-click in the Question box; it's at the upper right of the window, straight across from the Help menu. Uncheck the "Show Ask A Question box" to hide it. Close the Customize dialog box by clicking its OK button. If you want the box back, use Tools > Customize again, but this time, check the "Show Ask A Question box" after right-clicking the Question box on the menu bar.

yup! it sure is!

P.S I know this is an old thread, but it's so funny I just HAD to reply!

Take a good look at that. The calendar says "March 10", and yet the lawn outside is green, the tree is full of leaves, and there are fresh cut flowers in the vase. There are also bales of hay waiting out in the field for pick up. In early March?(!)      :eek:    

Also, it's a warm enough day for both the windows to be wide open (without screens for keeping out the bugs. Then, again, when has Microsoft been concerned about keeping out bugs?           ). Yet there's a roaring fire in the fire place      :eek:    

WTF?(!)

Can a UI possibly get more dumb-assed than that?
