menu below document name-remove it?

[BeatriceC]

How do I delete the menu that says, "Document Elements", "quick tables", etc ? Is there a way or am I stuck with it? I've only had Office 2008 a few days so I am probably missing something obvious? Thanks for any help.

Sorry, you can't turn off the Elements Gallery toolbar. You aren't
missing anything.

Use Help | Send Feedback in Word to ask for a preference to hide it
entirely.

In Word | Preferences | Gallery, be sure to UNcheck the "open elements
gallery when app opens" so that it stays collapsed.

It does not show up in Draft View, if that helps.
