Hello!
How to hide the status bar in Excel 2007 and in Office 2007?
Why does Outlook 2007 send message window appear in 30 seconds after sending
a small file from an Office program or choosing the send command from the
file context menu?
Sincerely,
Dima
 
Hi Dima,

The control to turn off the status bar through the user interface in the ribboned Office apps has basically been turned off. If you
right click on the status bar you may note that there are quite a few choices of items you can have displayed there.

For the send message window there may be a delay depending on how your antivirus software, for example, works to check items you use
before it actually sends them.

Hi Dima,

The first problem is a known issue. However, you can control this with
code:

Sub ToggleStatusBar()
Application.DisplayStatusBar = Not Application.DisplayStatusBar
End Sub

Assign a shortcut key to this macro and you can toggle the status bar on and
off in 2007 or earlier versions.

Hi Dima,

Note that Shane's macro to hide the status bar appears to work in Excel 2007 but not in Word 2007 :(
