Thanks for the suggestion, but I have that unchecked. Microsoft has numerous
task panes of that type that pop up that are a nusiance that have no way of
being disabled permenantly. I work with many people that are frustrated by
the lack of control of these "informational" tools that cause extra mousing
and clicking.
A suggestion: On each informational pane that pops up, put a selection
button that says "Don't show again" and mean it (by that I mean don't ever
show it again uless the users goes in the Tools>Options and reselects it.) I
know the Paste task pane has a version of this option but it is over-ridden
somehow. In the case of the Paste Task Pane, I haven't talked to one analyst
that uses it and most are irritated that it shows up at all. Most don't care
to do pastes from copy commands 6 commands ago! Make it an option to show!
Another task pane that shows up is when one completes the Pivot Table and
the selections appear in a Task Pane. That is an irritant because the only
action I (and others, I'm sure) ever do with it is close it. If I want to
add to my Pivot Table, changes are a simple right click away. The way it is
now, I have to mouse and click to close the selection every time. That is a
waste of time. And I use Pivot tables a lot!
Thank you.
