Hi Richard.

In 2007, Press the Button, select Options at the bottom.
Select Advanced. In the Cut, Copy, and Paste section uncheck SHOW PASTE
OPTIONS. If that doesn't do it try unchecking the others.

Whenever I insert a new line I get an format painter icon on the next cell
down so I can format. With the work I'm doing this icon covers over a 3
chracter code that I need to read to decide whether I need to insert another
line. I cannot start from the bottom and move up.
How do I shut this assistant off?

Thanks
