How do I make the "Paste Options" popup go away after pasting text?

I'm using Office 2007 on Windows 7 Professional.
This drives me crazy, and right now it's blocking other text I need to edit. When I move text around, using the right-click cut and paste menu, after pasting the paste options popup shows, and it won't go away, even if I choose a paste option. How do I make the stupid thing disappear after I'm done with it?

Who are these "you all" to whom you are referring? If you mean anybody who comes along, then they have every right to reply if they want as that is the nature of a message board. If you were replying directly to me, then your reply is just silly.

2015-06-04T00:47:28+00:00 So you have to go through the whole rigamarole about getting rid of the annoying paste options button again when you simply copy and paste with Control V? Well that is just silly, but your answer explains why it keeps showing back up over and over and over, again.
