When you've done something that brings that toolbar up, and while it's being displayed, go to View > Toolbars and deselect it. That should get rid of it until/unless you specifically reselect it. There are quite a few of these. If you like the toolbar, but not as a popup, you can 'dock' it to any of the edges (though in my experience, the top and bottom toolbars seem less likely to disappear after a crash). --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

Quit OO.o. The joke's on me. There is no such option! However, under Format > Bullets and Numbering, there doesn't seem to be anything to turn it off..... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

Actually I did NOT like the toolbar. I also found no option to deselect it. So I begrudgingly took your last suggestion to add it to my regular toolbar. Actually I hate the idea because there are probably others that will do this as well and I am not keen on the idea of just cluttering up the screen more than it already is. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

I also found no option to deselect it. Ugly Person, Please follow the steps you've been told. They used to work for me with all the versions since version 2.0. Call menu View>Toolbars and deselect the toolbar you don't want to see. Closing the toolbar window clicking the top-right x-button does not disable the tool permanently. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org
