I am on about the status bar which is just below the page layout tabs.
See screen shot attached.
There is no down arrow to select any control, you just right click on it to get a list of items to tick or not - but there is no master tick to turn this status bar off.
The help:
Format>Options>Display Tab> deselect the "Display Drawing Status Bar" check box.
worked, so thanks for that. I guess the brighter and more colourful annotation icons really brought it to my attention - never noticed it before.
And, how confusing to put a tick control item on the lower status bar to control the display of the upper status bar.
Anyway. Problem solved. Thanks for the answers.
