I enjoyed this program a lot as a kid. It had a very strange interface I found inefficient but the documents you could create were animated and fun.
Sounds like Microsoft had enough confidence in the interface after this to proceed with Bob and Clippy (Clippit): https://www.howtogeek.com/723648/did-you-know-microsoft-made...
Just found the text editor from my childhood
and Fine Artist, don't forget! fond moments from my childhood on that sweet HP Vectra 386 <3
3D Movie Maker too! There’s so much nostalgia around Clippy, but the real ones know McZee.
I must tell you, it is an incredible relief to learn that McZee was not a figment of my imagination.
