To eliminate that tool tip, go to:
<Tools <Options <General tab,
And *UNCHECK*
"Function Tooltips".

Otto,

When I am in a cell and use the @sum button to total a column of numbers, a
yellow box appears that has SUM(number1,[number2],... This box is right next
to the cell I am putting the total into. This box is in my way when I am
highlighting the area to sum.
