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?

Click on the Office button and then on Word Options and then on Advanced and go to the Cut, copy, and paste section and uncheck the box for "Show Paste Options buttons".

Is it necessary to speak in code? What is an "Office button"?
