I'm cross-posting to the MacWord group because I just realized I've been
putting up with this annoyance as well. The box is only supposed to appear
when you hover over that location, but sometimes they do stick around.

See here for Google/Entourage gateway to Mac-specific newsgroups, by the
way.

I am using Word 2004 for Macs.
Okay you know when every I indent twice this little, tiny, icon box with a
lightening bolt inside pops onto the screen giving me these options to change
back to tab, to stop setting indents on tabs and backspaces, and to go to the
autocorrect table. Now I do not actaully want to do any of these things, I
have tried ll of them, changing random things in autoformat, etc. but what I
really really really want is to be able to see the text underneatth the box
and keep working! And no the box does not move. Does anyone know how to turn
this thing off?
