Dear Folk,
I too, miss the handy Office Assistant, along with many other items and lay-outs in the previous versions in the entire MS Office family. However, MS Word and each of the other programs in the Office family are still the very best available for both home
and work processing. I am sorry for the rudeness with which many of my fellow user's responded to your technical answers. Your did your job well in giving us an explanation regarding the changes in MS Office 2010.
Please know, however, these folk are not blaming you personally for these changes and namely the loss of their helpful cat or dog, they are simply venting their frustration that has comes with changes in upgrades to our favorite word processing program.
Thank you for your good help in explaining to us the changes in our new MS Office 2010 family programs. Have a great day and please do keep up the good work.
Sincerely,
Mike
