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

Anonymous

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?

ARE YOU SERIOUS? IT'S THAT SIMPLE??? It worked. Dough you are amazing! That's been a frustation of mine for years. It just popped up today, and stayed there, per usual. I finally got so frustrated I said to myself surely there's an answer on the internet. Four words and you cut down my drinking problem. "Press the Esc key." THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
