clippy was also quite helpful though, as a kid with no idea what stuff i could do with Word.

its just that it outlived its welcome quickly, once i learned everything that i needed. the lesson to learn is i think about how to move from that guided experience into more power tools



Who can remember clippy right click "animate"?


That, wordart, and the secret flight sim in Excel 97 were the entirety of how I spent my school days.


What, no Encarta? :P


We did not have encarta at our school, that was for the rich kids.

However I have great memories of playing the sample of 'Changes' by David Bowie when I got a bit older and had access to a copy.
