Does anyone remember the Paper Clip that used to pop up in a Word Document that would usually say something like "it's look like you're writing a letter, do you need help?"
What happened to that little animation in the Word Office 2007? The Paper Clip was actually useful to me and I'd like to know how to bring him up on the screen.

Office Assistant (Clipit and others) are no longer with us in Word2007/2010.
Not everyone loved Clippy as much as you did. Office Assistants were deprecated in Office 2007 and will likely not be revived. If you google for "Clippy killed" or "RIP Clippy" or the like, you can find many humorous takes on his sad demise.
