Dumb Question: How do I Make the DocumentsElements Choices Disappear

I have a document open, i click on one of the document elements tabs to select a table I want. It displays some tables. I click to select one, then... how do I make the tables display go away?

I don't mean to make the Document Elements tabs go away completely, just get the choices its giving me out of the way once I select one. Seems like there should be a button or a big X (like in Dashboard) or something to click and make it disappear back "up" into the tab bar.

Hi,

Click on the tab in in the Document Elements bar a second time to put
the tables display away.

Just click once again on the tab that's currently open.

Sorry Jim, I did not see your answer. Somehow, Entourage did not display
both messages in the same thread.

Thanks guys. I still like the idea of a big X in a circle for the GUI challenged among us

No problem. Newsgroups are not updated in real time. It's a batch
process that has to percolate through many servers. It can take hours
for a posting to reach the entire world.
