"Insert Options" Flag

Version: 2008
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
Processor: Intel

Greetings,
Does anyone know of a way to disable the annoying "insert options" flag that appears every time I create a new row or column in Excel. It covers up information I need to see in order to keep track of where I am in my copy & paste activities, and I just want it to stop.

Many Thanks,
Macduff

Hi Macduff;

Same place you control most everything else in the program:-)

Excel> Preferences. In the Edit Prefs just clear the check for Insert
Options and/or Paste Options.
