Today's question is: How do I How do I prevent the research panel from popping up in Microsoft Word 2007?

This one was a doozy. A colleague was working in Microsoft Word 2007 and was using tables. While working with tables she encountered the annoying research panel. Whenever she would clicked anywhere in the document the research panel would pop up. It would prevent her from working within her document  After closing the pane and returning to the document the pane would return rendering her helpless. An endless cycle. After some "research" (ha ha) I came across this solution that worked beautifully. In a nutshell, I went into the VBscript editor and disabled the research panel completely.

Follow these steps:

1. From Word, press Alt-F11 to open the VB Editor. 
2. Press Ctrl-G to open the Immediate Window.
3. Type this line and press Enter: 

Application.CommandBars("Research").Enabled = False
