Can I install the cat office assistant in Word, Excel, etc in 2010. Miss my kitty

JERK YOU AND MICROSOFT SUCK WE WANT OUR ASSISTANTS BACK THEY ARE AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I concur with you honey....Some People like "CUTE" things some people don't.  As for as I'm concerned they were SO ADORABLE.  I'd like to see SOMEONE make a come back.  I know the world  is constantly evolving, but so what? As for as MY CUTE character "LINK THE CAT", who wouldn't love to see him as he did all sorts of precious moves and kept us entertained we worked. 

For the time being however, I have a BEAUTIFUL "Apple Head Cat" sitting next to me as I reply to your answer. All in all, I want my LINK and Clippy and the whole lot as well. Typing has in a sense become boring again. ***POUT***

Tsk tsk.  Such manners.

The "you" you're berating here is NOT Microsoft. 

We're all just office users like you.  Some of us choose to spend time here helping others. 

And for better or worse, the Ribbon's alive, the cat's dead.  If we want the advantages of the newer versions of Office, we have to get over it.  Or stick with the old version.  And keep the cat.

Yes We will keep the old version of Microsoft Word and the new one sucks!

As I've explained, I do NOT work for Microsoft.  I can't help you recover the animated kitty.

Suggestion:  go to an animal shelter and adopt a REAL kitten.  They need your help more than Microsoft's kitty does, they're more fun, if a bit less predictable, and can even be taught to type.  Well.  To enter random keystrokes, at least.  ;-)

You suck!

Thank you ever so much.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your detailed, well-informed and thorough appraisal of my existence.

Microsoft should have kept the Office Assistant as an option!

Yeah, I know it was everyones favorite object to hate, but, if people really disliked it, they could just turn it off...

I miss it too...
