Hiding The Mini Toolbar In Office 2013

The toolbar appears in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, and even in Publisher. In Excel, if you click the text inside the cell and select it, the bar appears. In all other apps, selecting text (and not the text container itself) will prompt this mini toolbar.

Fortunately, Microsoft has added a simple solution to disable it. Click the File menu item at the top left. Users on an older version of MS Office may have to click on the Office button in the same location. In the File menu you will see a long list of sub-menus on the left, select Options.

A new window will open with options for customizing Word. In the General tab, under User Interface Options, you will see a ‘Show Mini Tollbar on Selection’ option enabled by default. Uncheck this, click Ok at the bottom and the toolbar will no longer appear when you select text. The same method works across all Office 2013 apps, and is likely to work on older versions of Office as well. You will not need to restart your Office app for the change to take effect.
