Help with type a question box.

You did not know what I was talking about, and no-one should be spelled no
one. If you were actually using Word and trying to help you could have
figured that out, but unfortunately you are without a spellchecker here. Too
bad your linguistics aren't up too par with my own. Lucky for you I do
understand gibberish and you are coming through clear as day

can hardly complain if no-one knows what the f*k you're talking about.

Do you guys read the post you are clicking? It says Help with ----type a
question box----- if you guys actually used any Office 2003 product you
would know what I was talking about.
Maybe if I was talking about accessibility features(particularly the
vision
features) you could provide much needed help, until you can provide help I
would suggest you not respond.

What is "this box" ?

I'm sorry was I speaking..er..typing too fast for you?

I can't seem to get any help on removing this box from either excel,
word,
or
outlook.
//This box being the type a question box that is in the top right part
of
the toolbar. Sorry this is not a picture book so can't help you there
if
you
need images.

I have read other post that just recite the same stuff about right
clicking
and unchecking the show the box. I don't have this box and never have
had
it.
I have many others.
//In this part of the post I am informing anyone who reads this to not
recommend doing this step, I've already tried.

I have tried the suggestion that I had googled for in which the MVP
said
to
go to Customize then in the Toolbar tab select Menu Bar and then click
properties. The problem there is that I have no properties to click.
All I
have is reset or keyboard on the bottom. To the right I have New,
Rename,
Delete and Reset, but no properties at all.
//Once again I'm giving you the reader info on another solution I have
tried
but at the same time giving more details as to why I couldn't complete
the
steps given to me. MVP stands for Most Valuable Professional. Googled
means
that I used the Google search engine for anything that related to my
issue.
You type words into a form box and it returns results.

I am using Office 2003
//This lets you know what version of Office I am using so you can apply
your
advice to my product correctly.

Once more I apologize for not including pictures and such, as I can
tell
you
probably read books with lots of pictures. Picture this, the MVP is
probably
a male or female of Indian descent since this is where MS outsources
their
customer support to. The type a question box is amid a cluttered menu
that
sits at the topmost part of any Office application. Google is a webpage
that
is plain except for a few links and a form box near the middle. I'm
sorry
if
you don't like the tone of my response but if I were to type a**hole,
redneck, unhelpful, ignorant into Google it would lead me to this page
and
pinpoint your response.

There is no type a question box.
Linguistically a text is more than just
words scrambled together at random.

I was baffled by what you are heading for, too.

There is a dropdown-listbox, usually in the upper right hand corner,
the default text of which is "Type a question for help",
which vanishes with hiding the menu bar manually.

Then build your own "MyMenuBar".

Hi Graham

OK, so I turned off the box.

How do I get it back? It seems that the setting is not in normal.dot or in
the Data or Toolbars registry entries.

Hmmm. If you had discovered that in help then you would - like me -
have discovered also how to hide it. Tools customize - right click the
box. I'm not sure you would want to hide the help tool that would have
given you the information you required?

You did provide help even though chosing not to read the topic header
to find out what I was refering to.

Since you say that the box can't be removed then why is stated that
it can be hidden in the help document?

This is a user peer group forum. MVPs are not employed by Microsoft
but are people who volunteer their time and expertise to assist
fellow users. Where they come from is irrelevant, but they are based
all over the world wherever people live and can access the internet.

Jezebel is a user who prefers to remain anonymous. If he/she cannot
be contacted, then he/she could not be nominated to be an MVP.

MVP or not we are not mind readers and we don't know which 'box' you
are talking about; but if you mean the help tool at the top right of
the menu bar, then this cannot be removed.

How do you hide the bar manually? If you are going to suggest that I do it by
going right clicking the menu and unchecking the box for "show ask a
question" I have already tried that and have no such option. I cannot uncheck
that which I do not have.

Please, if you have another way of removing this box, then go ahead and tell
me. I just want to customize word or any other office product the way I want,
especially if the feature is in the help and the way to do it in help leads
to no solution.

Sorry if I appear to be hostile towards Jezebel, but if you read his first
reply, he offers nothing but insults to my post. My header tells the issue
and the body explains in more detail as to what I want to do and what I have
already tried. I know that the MVP service is trying to help but insulting a
poster, instead of just asking to clarify the problem further, which demeans
this service that you guys offer.

Then all of the menu bar is gone.

Whether it is worth the effort,
building you own menu bar,
without the box in question,
I don't know.
Maybe.

Thx, I already knew that, but I do understand your suggestion. The only thing
that I didn't understand was the help that comes with Office 2003's way of
suggesting how to turn it off. Was this removed through an update(service
pack, etc.)? Does anyone have the ability just to turn off the type a
question box as described in the help.

Thx again Helmut for the reply

There is a way to do it, because I have done that before, I just don't want
to do it again just in case I can't remember.
