How do I hide the bar with buttons "Document Elements", "Quick Tables", "Chartsw", "SmartArt", WordArt"?

Masking Tape or Duct Tape are the most viable options available

Although you can collapse the Elements Gallery & set your Preferences to not
display it on startup you can't do away with the buttons themselves.

If you truly find it to be that obtrusive use Help> Send Feedback to explain
your dissatisfaction where its likeliest to do some good.
