Here's the tip from Mr. Wyatt:
Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007 include a feature that really annoys some people: Paste Options. When you paste some tidbit of information in your document, Word displays a small, floating "button" right near the end of the pasted information. The button looks like the Paste tool on the toolbar: a small clipboard with a piece of paper over it. This is the Paste Options button. If you move your mouse pointer over the button, you find that it is really a drop-down menu, and clicking on the menu gives you a few options that you can apply to what you just pasted.
If you find the Paste Options button distracting, or if you never use it, you may want to turn it off. Follow these steps if you are using Word 2002 or Word 2003:
1. Choose Options from the Tools menu. Word displays the Options dialog box.
2. Make sure the Edit tab is displayed. (Click here to see a related figure.)
3. Clear the Show Paste Options Buttons check box.
4. Click on OK.
If you are using Word 2007 then you should follow these steps, instead:
1. Click the Office button and then click Word Options. Word displays the Word Options dialog box.
2. Click Advanced at the left side of the dialog box.
3. Scroll through the available options until you get to the Cut, Copy, and Paste section. (Click here to see a related figure.)
4. Clear the Show Paste Options Buttons check box.
5. Click OK.
FYI, the "Office" button is that big, round button with the Windows logo on it that appears in the top left corner of Word. The Office button is another feature of Word 2007 that takes some getting used to (they hid the Print and Document Properties there too). Here's a picture that shows the checkbox in Word 2007:
