I've just looked at the Word Help topic "Show or hide the Type a question
for help box." It says:
1. On the Tools menu, click Customize.
2. On the menu bar, right-click the Type a question for help box.
3. Select or deselect Show Ask A Question Box to show or hide it.
Note If you are hiding the Type a question for help box, it will still
display until after you close the Customize dialog box.
What this means is that you must have the Customize dialog open, but you're
not actually clicking anything *in* the Customize dialog. You're
right-clicking the "Type a question for help" box itself. You get a menu
with a single item: "Show Ask a Question Box." It has a check mark beside
it. Presumably if you click on it, you will remove the box, but, having
already read the replies posted here by other MVPs, I'm loath to experiment
with it, since there doesn't seem to be any easy way to get it back. I take
it that you can't just right-click on the menu bar to get this option?
