What should I do if the Office Assistant is distractiing?
Right click the office assistant and select Hide. Look for stuff in the
Tools -> Options dialog related to how often he pops up.
I haven't tried it, but if you run Microsoft Office Setup from Add/Remove
Programs, there might be an option to uninstall the assistant completely.
My personal favorite was a new office assistant that I found once where he
had a bullet hole between his eyes.
