    RE: Microsoft Office Home & Business 2016.
    
    In the last few weeks, about every 10th time I open an Excel 2016 spreadsheet, I see a banner ad just below the tool bar that says (see also attachment):
    
    “EXPERIENCE MICROSOFT 365 Keep your files safe, secure, and accessible with 1 TB clout storage. Try Microsoft 365 Start free trial”
    
    There is an X to the far right to remove the annoying ad, but it will return. 🙁
    
    If I wanted Microsoft (or Office) 365, I would have bought that instead of Office Home & Business 2016. And Office is not free! It is not cheap. I didn’t “pay” a pretty penny to get ads in my programs. 🙁
    
    How do I permanently prevent my Office products from displaying these ads?
