How to KILL the Office Assistant!

You’ve tried turning him off, but that little beggar keeps popping up again when you open new documents. Isn’t there some way to get rid of the Office Assistant in Office 2000 for all time?!

Yes! Here is how:

1. Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add and Remove Programs
2. Scroll until you find Microsoft Office (name may vary).
3. Click on Change.
4. Click on Add/Remove Features.
5. Click and hold Office Tools; select “Not Available”.
6. Click on Update.
7. If the Add and Remove Programs dialog lists more than one Microsoft Office entry (for example, “Microsoft Office Disk 2”), repeat the above procedure for each.

That’s it! You can check that it worked if under the “Help” menu of Office applications the entry “Show the Office Assistant” is dimmed out
