A question for users of MS Word
Does anyone know know to get rid of those dammed annoying "helpful" popups that clutter the page in Word after you do simple things like cut and paste operations? Sometimes they're right over top of information that you need to access to continue editing. And for what? I always select the paste option I want BEFORE pasting. I don't need a drop-down menu on options I could have chosen after the fact.

I'm sorry, I don't use MS Word. If you will accept my advice anyway,

Hide or display the Paste Options button

If you don't want the Paste Options button to appear every time that you paste content, you can turn this option off.
  1. Click the File tab.
  2. Click Options, and then click Advanced.
  3. Under Cut, copy, and paste, clear or select the Show Paste Options button when content is pasted check box to hide or display the Paste Options button.

Thanks, eschwartz. That unasked for options box was really getting on my nerves. Locating the right options when you want them isn't always an easy undertaking in MS Word. At least, it isn't always that way for me. I love the program and appreciate its power, but I sometimes wish it were a tad more intuitive.

Yes I agree, totally annoying, I didn't know it could be disabled, but I do know if you hit 'esc' it goes away.

From the pic, what you seem to be getting is from the 'show' button which shows you all the pagination etc marks, for example, the dots are where you have pressed the space bar.
To get rid of this, locate the backward P on the function menu (sorry, don't know where that is in modern versions of the ribbon) and click it. The marks will go away.

As for the paste option marks, they will go away as soon as you do something else. So just continue typing and watch them magically disappear.

As the OP only asked about the paste options, I will assume he deliberately activated the pagination marks...
