I am using Excel at work for the first time, for a task more involved than opening and reading other people's files, in a project that needs to be finished by this afternoon.

... ohhhh mah gad ...

Please tell me that there is a way to make the little Bonzi-Buddy-style dancing-toastermac thing go away and stay away. I am so, so, so not in the mood to have my work interrupted from time to time because it is time to watch dancing clowns. Tofutti break!!

Thank you.

Oh, oops, I read that as the raised-shaking-fist sort of clear loud voice. (Intonation the same as "Gilligan...!")

I went into Excel to try to find where one turns off the Assistant. But I had done so long ago, couldn't find the option, and refused to turn it back on to find it lest I be unable to turn it off again.

Okay, just tested it.

If you go to "options" under the office assistant, you unclick the "use office assistant" button. That should make it go away.

This more or less worked, by the way... clicking on the little jerk brings up a menu, which (if you click the right choice) brings up a preferences dialog, and unchecking every checkbox found within seems to have done the trick.
