Microsoft Word 2000-2003 - Bored Paperclip

13 Sep 2006 | Sent in by Kit Harrison

Open any Word document in microsoft office 2003 and type a page. Now leave the document standing idle for about ten minutes. If your Office Assistant is set to Clippit (the paperclip) he will yawn, curl up and fall asleep! Click him to wake him up with a start.

WILL NOT WORK on other Office assistants, or Microsoft Office 2007 and 97.

BobbyEarle - Sep 1 2008 2:46AM Is there a way to just kill off Clippy? I can barely stand Gilbert as it is...
