Microsoft Word Help - - Change the Office Assistant

By James Marshall, About.com

At the center of Microsoft Word's help features is the animated office assistant. If you're getting a bit tired of Clippit, but prefer it to the other Microsoft Word help features, there is a whole gallery of for you to choose from.

To access the assistant gallery, follow these simple steps:

1. Right click on the assistant
2. From the pop-up list, select Choose Assistant…
3. On the Gallery tab, use the back and next buttons to scroll through the assistants
4. When you find one you like, click OK; to stick with Clippit, choose Cancel

Please note that the available choices may vary depending on options you specified at the time you installed Word. Changing the assistant will not affect any other Microsoft Word help features.
