How not to display cell contents in toolbar above work area

I do not want the cell contents to be repeated in the toolbar above the work
area. I have cells with long text messages and the display of box in the
toolbar flows over the work area, which confuses readability. Can I switch
this display off. One edits text in the cell anyway.

Thanks
Laurence

Laurence,

Go to the Tools menu, choose Options, then the View tab. There,
uncheck the "Formula bar" setting.
