Re: Word 2007

Actually it goes to enabling different working styles. Many of us move the
main toolbar to the left side of the screen from the bottom so we can
perceptually see text only from top to bottom; you can also see both the bar
and all of the text window when both are open simultaneously. The new Office
2007 mail window allows the same kind of very nice collapsing to the left of
the navigation pane. While the info in the Word 2007 status bar is often
irrelevant to many of us, the real problem is that forcing it to be open and
at the bottom requires people to distinguish status info from textual content
when editing. That's why it could be hidden in Word 2003. there is some
classic ergonomic literature on improving work by separating function windows
from content. Hopefully a future version of 2007 will again return user
control over this feature. JoAnn, now that you know that the answer is not
"is that 1/4 inch so important" can you help us get the 2003 feature back?

Word '07 doesn't offer any option for hiding the Status Bar. Perhaps
one of the 3rd party customizing utilities out there include that
capability, but I haven't used any of them.

Right clicking on the status bar allows you to choose the options
you want in the status bar. Even when you uncheck all of the
options you still have a blank status bar. I want to hide the
entire status bar as you can in Word 2003.
