Hi all - Office 2002 XP - Windows XP

I would like to disable the task pane that pops up when you want to copy
something from a Word document. Every time I highlight text to copy from a
Word document, the side panel/task pane opens to the right of the screen.

I have looked everywhere, but, see nothing that indicates where to disable
it. It is very annoying and not necessary. I also use OXP in W2k, and it
does not do this.

I'd really appreciate any suggestions.
