Default Help with type a question box.

I can't seem to get any help on removing this box from either excel, word, or
outlook. 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. 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. I am
using Office 2003

Default Help with type a question box.

If your reading skills are on par with your writing, it's not surprising
that you've not understood the help instructions. What on earth are you
talking about?

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.

//In this part of the post I am informing anyone who reads this to not

You type words into a form box and it returns results.

//This lets you know what version of Office I am using so you can apply your

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.

No, this is not a picture book, so, we rely on your power of description.
Which so far has failed you.

What is "this box" ?

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.

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.

Default Help with type a question box.

I was just joking about the MVP part it was in reference to the fact that
Jezebel was acting like a smart by the statements he chose. If either he/she
or you read the topic heading it stated ---type a question box----. To a
user of an Office 2003 product this would be very evident to what I was
talking about.

Instead of taking the time to wear the bifocals that are on his or her desk
and actually reading the topic header, this person instead chose to comment
on my intelligence and at the same time exploiting his or her ignorance. All
while providing no help.

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?

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?

Once again refering to my original post, if it was even read, I have already
tried what was told to me in the help and I don't even have a checkbox for
that option.
In case it wasn't clear enough I don't have the checkbox for that item. I
feel as if I was Bob Loblaw speaking and you were my listeners.

Happy to answer your question if you can find it within your linguistic
competence to ask it meaningfully. But if you choose to write gibberish, you
can hardly complain if no-one knows what the f*k you're talking about.
