To be clear, the Mini Toolbar is the small box that appears in Word during selections and above the Right-Click menu. It contains commonly used formatting options including font changes, bold, italics, underline, and more.
How To Turn Off The Mini Toolbar Auto-Appear In Word 2010
Step 1
Click the File ribbon and then Click Options.
Step 2
In the options window, Click the General tab and then Uncheck the Show Mini Toolbar on selection box. Click OK to save changes and exit.
Done!
Now the mini-toolbar will only show up when you Right-Click somewhere in the document. I find this much less annoying since I have always used Right-Click to bring it up anyway.
