Re: MS Word Office Assistant in Word 2007 jcj 4/20/2007 4:16:02 AM Why do all the neat, fun things disappear. I liked the office agents/assistants.

Re: MS Word Office Assistant in Word 2007 "Beth Melton" <bmelton[ at ]mvps.org> 4/21/2007 4:16:13 PM Actually, they did ask - or they tried to anyway. :-) For Office 2003 they created an opt-in Customer Experience Improvement Program which tracked the commands used, settings, setup, etc. They took the data they obtained from CEIP and used it to make various decisions about Office 2007, such as which features they should focus on improving. CEIP determined most users turn Clippy and his buddies off so they retired him. Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Re: MS Word Office Assistant in Word 2007 lesliem 12/17/2008 9:05:02 PM Personally, I am extremely upset that the office assistant has been cancelled. I truly enjoyed having my kitty up on the screen all day. I am in the process of expressing my outrage to Microsoft. Due to company policy, I do not have the option of going back to 2003. Microsoft at least should create an app that mimics the Office Assistant for those who actually liked it. Everyone who actually did like it should email Microsoft like I am doing. I'm pretty sure they're not going to listen to just one person, but if we all complain, maybe they will do something. Maybe. Hopefully they are even reading these posts, so if enough complain...I am thinking of starting a protest signature sheet, post up if you're interested in signing...
