I did that - it still shows. In fact, I didn't see any changes at all after
I deselected this button.

After reading some other posts, I will try working with toolbars.

Thanks for your time.

On Excel 2007, right-clicking brings up the normal contect menu as well as
a
formatting toolbar. How do I turn off the formatting toolbar? I just
need
the normal context menu items.
