Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |
There is a small formatting bar that appears on screen when I put my mouse near some text. I can’t copy it here, but it’s a couple inches wide and a half inch tall. It lets you adjust fonts, styles, etc, On the far right it lets you insert a new comment.
To me, it is an intrusive nuisance.
What is it called, and how do I get rid of it?

It’s called (cleverly enough) the Mini Toolbar and you can disable it in an Office Program’s Options dialog box (File, Options). In Word, for example, the option to display (or not) is found at the top of the General tab (first check box: Disable Mini Toolbar on Selection).
Hope this helps.
And I appreciate the chuckle (there isn’t enough laughter in the world…but I wax philosophical). Doesn’t it feel good to succeed when you were trying? 
I will now stop pestering you. Just glad I could help you.
