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!!

Remarkably a friend of mine had tried typing, "How do I get this fucking paper clip to go away?" in the office assistant window and one of it's replies was about turning off the office assistant.

Like em or not the Office suite (especially Word) are some of the most powerful and user-configurable peices of software of their kind ever made for the business world. Nearly every aspect of their operation can be adjusted to suit your needs if you have enough time and patience. Unfortunatly, many of the default options are not really very useful for anyone and some are downright annoying.
