The Office Assistant was an intelligent user interface for Microsoft Office that assisted users by way of an interactive animated character, which interfaced with the Office help content. It was included in Microsoft Office for Windows (versions 97 to 2003), in Microsoft Publisher (versions 98 to 2003), and Microsoft Office for Mac (versions 98 to 2004). The default assistant in the English Windows version was named Clippit (though Clippy is a common nickname), after a paperclip.〔Kevan J. Atteberry, ("Clippy" ), comments from the designer of Clippit on his website.〕 The character was designed by Kevan J. Atteberry.〔 Clippy was the default and by far the most notable Assistant (partly because in many cases the setup CD was required to install the other assistants), which also led to it being called simply the Microsoft Paperclip.〔http://newrisingmedia.com/all/2012/6/2/the-microsoft-paperclip-is-back.html〕 The original Clippy in Office 97 was given a new look in Office 2000. The feature drew a strongly negative response from many users. Microsoft turned off the feature by default in Office XP, acknowledging its unpopularity in an ad campaign spoofing Clippy. The feature was removed altogether in Office 2007 and Office 2008 for Mac, as it drew criticism from customers and even Microsoft employees. The default assistant Clippy has been heavily mocked in popular culture, being parodied, appearing in memes, and even being made fun of by Microsoft themselves from 2001 onwards. ==Overview== First introduced in Office 97 in 1996, the Office Assistant was codenamed TFC during development, and was enabled by default in early Microsoft Office versions. It popped up when the program determined the user could be assisted with using Office wizards, searching help, or advising users on using Office features more effectively. It presented tips and keyboard shortcuts. For example, typing an address followed by "Dear" would cause Clippy to pop up and say, "''It looks like you're writing a letter. Would you like help?''". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「office assistant」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
