Hi,

first I want to give you some information:

When you are new to OOo, and you perform certain OOo tasks, the Help Agent (a big button at the lower right of the screen with a light bulb image) opens. For example, when you start a new sentence with a lower case letter, the AutoSomething will correct it to upper case and the Help Agent is there to tell you what happened and how to disable such automatics.

You can click on the button (not on the [x] closer), to get a Help page with some explanations.

Or you ignore the Help Agent, which will disappear after some seconds.

When you close the Help Agent three times in a row for a given situation, it will never again bother you for this context.

Experienced users can enable or disable the Help Agent on Tools-Options-OOo-General.

????? Now, what do you think about the Help Agent ?????

When should it appear?
When should it not appear?
Do you have any ideas how to improve this to give better help to new users?

In addition to this discussion list, there is an issue http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=65727 where you can add your ideas, vote or comment for one use case (assigning page styles).
