Microsoft Word 97

Remove the Status Bar

Summary: Add more screen real estate to Word 97 by hiding the status bar.

Although Word's status bar displays seemingly important information, you may be low on screen real estate. If so, you can turn off the status bar display and get more room on your screen for editing your document. To do so, click on the "Tools" menu, selecting "Options." On the multi-tabbed dialog box that appears, select the "View" tab. Under "Window", uncheck "Status bar". Press the "OK" button to close the dialog box.
