Alternatively allow a much easier way of turning of the help agent, or
toning it down/turning it off at the users request, although a user
will generally not bother to look in the options menu.

I think

1: give a little text message inside the help agent for the subject of
the pop-up atm it's not alway clear why it's appeared

2: Provide a way to turn of the help agent without going into options

3: perhaps make the help agent more subtle, so it can only be seen if
the user is looking for it.

Smart tags might provide a better way of providing contextual help for
when something is auto-corrected though

Hi,

please have a look at http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Help_Agent

Some users don't like the Help Agent.
We don't get a lot of positive feedback at all, therefore I don't know
if poor Help Agent has some friends somewhere.

What do you think:
- do we still need the Help Agent?
- should Help Agent be reduced in size or converted to a text message in
the status bar?
