Removing Display ShortCuts on Right-Click (WORD 2007)

[a.b.]

If I have the grammar/style checker on, WORD 2007 functions as it should, and
highlights (green underlines) portions of text it recommends be observed for
uniformity, etcetera.

Whenever I right-click to view the options/recommendations WORD 2007 has for
me, two menus appear: (1) the regular cut/copy/paste and recommendations
context menu, and a newer (2) menu that is essentially a condensed version of
the Font panel (of the Home ribbon).

Unfortunately, I am finding this second menu rather bothersome and in the
way. Is there a way for me to remove it so that it doesn't pop up whenever I
right-click a grammar recommendation?

Regards.

I think you're describing the Mini Toolbar. If this bothers you, turn it off
at Office Button | Word Options | Popular: Show Mini Toolbar on selection.

If you don't turn it off, it's supposed to show up whenever you select
text (not just when you right-click something) -- if it doesn't, maybe
something's wrong!

Whether a word is selected when you click in it might be a result of some of
the other Options settings, though.

I don't have the mini-toolbar function selected. It does not appear when I
hover near selected text, but only when I right-click for grammatical options.

This doesn't happen when I right-click or hover for any other feature/option
in WORD 2007.

If it is not the Mini Toolbar, then please further describe it.
