Hide "Type a Question" box and "Resize" window box

[tlynn]

I have read a previous post on hiding the "Question box", but I am not having
much luck.

When I click to the left of the question box, it open a box showing
"Database", "Task Pane", "Web", "Customize..."

I click on Customize and it open a box showing tabs with "Toolbars",
"Commands", and "Options".

I click on the "Toolbar" tab, then highlight the checked "Menu Bar" line,
then click on propeties for this menu bar, and make sure that the following
are checked: "Allow Customizing", "Allow Resizing", "Allow Moving", and
"Allow Showong/Hiding" (Docking is set at allow any and the slected toolbat
is "Menu Bar").

I then click on the "Options" tab and the following items are checked:
"Show Menusa after a Short Delay", "List Font Names in their Font", and "Show
Screen Tips on Toolbars"

Also, how do I hide the "Resize" box?

Thank You.
