How to switch off the Help Agent

Q When typing in Openoffice Writer, a blue picture with a light bulb appears in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen. This becomes annoying when writing at the bottom of the document. Is there any way to turn this off?
Steve Jenkins

A This is the Help Agent, the Openoffice equivalent of Microsoft Office’s Office Assistant, although thankfully it is less ingratiating.

The icon normally appears to alert you that Openoffice has automatically corrected a spelling mistake. Clicking on the Help Agent will display a page from the Openoffice help explaining what has been changed.

Turning it off is quite simple. Click on the Tools menu, then on Options. Click on the General option under Openoffice.org in the left-hand section of the window and click in the box labelled Help Agent to remove the tick. This alert will no longer appear.
