There's probably an easy answer to this, but I can't figure it out. Is there a way to shut off that irritating Office Assistant in Excel?

Thanks.
 

Excel Facts

Copy a format multiple times
Select a formatted range. Double-click the Format Painter (left side of Home tab). You can paste formatting multiple times. Esc to stop
Right click the little ****e.
Choose options.
Unclick the "Use office assistant box"

...I guess I should clarify this...I want him to PERMANENTLY go away, not just shut off temporarily.

Thanks.

Simply open the folder "C:Program FilesMicrosoft OfficeOfficeActors" and rename the clippy.act file.

Try renaming to clippy.ac1 or clippy.bak.


When you want Clippy back (HA! Yeah right like thats going to happen), just rename him to clippy.act again.


If your Office Assistant is one of the alternative personalities, just look for the file with the .act extension (in the above referenced Actors folder) and rename it. For instance, dot.act, hoverbot.act, et cetera.
