I now have Micrsoft Office 2003 at home (legally, thank you) and found out today that they have now added Condoleezza (two e’s, two z’s) and Condi to their spellchecker but still lack Rumsfeld. Go figure.
Oh, and that damn talking paper clip is finally gone.
That damn paperclip is worse than a horde of monkeys!
microsoft obviously don’t like rumsfeld. maybe he should stop strangling their tech support staff.
Thank God! The paperclip should burn in hell.
Getting rid of the paper clip was the first demand in the EU lawsuit.
I know this will not lead to anything funny, but why did you get Office 2003? I’ve heard nothing but complaints about it.
Damn, I loved that paper clip , what is next the cute puppy wagging his tail,, Damn MICROSOFT,if there crap didn’t work I wouldn’t buy it..
Bob,
Well, I only had Word 2000 at home, and there was a deal at work to get the entire office suite for home use for $19.95.
Yeah, I got the same offer where I work. Guess you could call it a real “suite” deal…
Rumsfeld ain’t there ’cause he’s probably the one who took the paper clip out back, gave him a thrashing, and left him to rust.
I guess you’ll have to add Rumsfeldt to the dictionary the old fashioned way. If you want, you can change the automatic spelling corrector so that whenever you type”Rumsfeld” it will automatically correct it with “Rumsfeld Strangler”.
That last bit is also great if you use it as a prank on someone else’s computer. I worked with a guy who like to type naughty words. I set his autocorrect to change his naughty words to their goofy “polite” equivalent. It was fun to watch veins pop out his forehead.
NOT CLIPPY?!?!?! NOOOOOOO. ~sobs~ he was my only friend, the only one who would talk to me. ~dries eyes~ On second thought he did borrow a lot of money. Then he up and goes off. You’re right, he was just using me. I hope the rotter burns in the deepest pits of hell. ~takes Zoloft~ What was i saying?
Flag on the play. Penalty on clews, for a bad pun, ten yard loss and first down.
CLIPPY LIVES!
Seriously…he’s just turned off 😛
DING DONG, THE CLIPPY’S DEAD
LALALAAAA
Man, that thing was annoying.
LibertyBob,
It’s even better if you change the naughty words to silly nonsensical phrases like “wankle rotary engine”, “tastes like fresh peanuts”, or “I am no longer infected.”
The clip is no longer allowed due to new airport regulations and security. If you check out the Help you will see that they’ve also gotten rid of the spell check pen knife, thesaurus nail clippers, and auto-complete box cutters.
It sucks but I feel it is a small price to pay in order to feel safe and secure while writing a letter to your sainted grandmother.
Arnold;
I replaced the F word and its variants with: Boingy Dance, Boingy Dancing, Boingy Dancer, etc. From the point of view of my victem it was quite infuriating and cruel. I think that’s what made it funny.
I do like your ‘peanuts’ line.
I did a search on Fundrace to see what donations Billy Gates had made to campaign 2004. And I was surprised. I had him pegged as a lefty.

I might try using Word again if that paperclip is gone. I hate that smarmy little paperclip. It raises its eyebrows as if it disapproves of whatever I do and knows how to do it much much better, and when I tell it to go away by clicking on its little corner, it gives me attitude as it goes away.
Beck,
Yeah right, the Clintonistas did everything in their power to take Gates and M$ to court.
Also … you have to install Clippy when installing Office. Or turn him on later.

BoogerEater:
Not true. Do a custom installation, and under (I believe) Shared Tools is Office Assistant. Click the arrow next to it, select Not Available, and you’re good.

In God’s name why would you think that? The left has been trying to bring him down for years.
Frank, should have used Sarge from Red vs Blue… “Where do you want to go today, dirtbag?” Heh heh.
But the paperclip is your friend! ;_; Oh well, the Einstein-esque professor owns him anyway.
Microsoft is Great!!
Microsoft is Great!!
dont make the paperclip angery, it has a sharp pointy end.
