The information in this article applies to:
When you start Microsoft Word with the Tip Of The Day appearing as Word is started, the Next and Back buttons on the Tip of the Day Answer Wizard balloon will not be available to use. The only button available is Close.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
To toggle the Tip of the Day to show or not show when Word is started, follow these steps:
1. Start the Office Assistant.
- If the Office Assistant is not visible, click the Office
Assistant.
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant
button on the Standard toolbar. If Word Help is not installed
on your computer, please see the following article in the
Microsoft Knowledge Base:
ARTICLE-ID: Q120802
TITLE : Office: How to Add/Remove a Single Office
Program or Component
- If the Office Assistant is visible, but the Office Assistant
balloon is not, hold down CTRL (Windows) or CONTROL (Macintosh)
and click the Office Assistant.
3. Under Other Tip Options, click to toggle on (check) or off (no check)
"Show the Tip of the Day at startup."
Once Microsoft Word starts with the Tip of the Day showing, you must click Close on the Tip of the Day balloon to turn this feature off. Note, however, that you can work on your document while the Tip of the Day balloon is showing.
