New in Word 2007 is the mini-toolbar, which provides quick access to common formatting commands. The commands are displayed whenever you hover your mouse over the mini-toolbar.
Some people really like the new toolbar as it can be convenient if you quickly want to format highlighted text. Others however, find it cumbersome and even annoying. If you fit into this latter category, good news! You can easily disable it.

To Disable the Mini-Toolbar
- Click the Microsoft Office button.
- Click Word Options.
- Click Popular in the left column.
- Uncheck the “Show Mini Toolbar on selection” checkbox.
