Are you saying that if you clear the box for "Show AutoCorrect Options
buttons" in the Tools | AutoCorrect Options dialog you are still getting the
button?

yes thank you that did not work at all. However I discovered that if I
click
somewhere and hit the space bar, the box goes away. So although not a
technical fix, one that works. Thank you.

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?
