What if you want to remove it permanently? Otherwise, it still shows up when
you select multiple cells (for example, if I use ShiftAlt and select a block
of cells, the "Research" option appears in the Task Pane to the right).

Every time I select cells, etc. on a document, the task pane opens. I close
it every time b/c I do not find it especially helpful, but it re-appears
every time. How do I permanently remove it so that it does not show up ever
again? I have searched and asked around but cannot fidn a way to do this.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
