We do not use Spelling and Grammar check tools. So remove EDITOR works and not pressing F7 but adding Spellcheck to QAT and just pressing that instead or providing a shortcut. The EDITOR takes up way too much space being a pane and practice management system uses panes and styles use a pane.

If we all had screens at 30 inches plus it may be more visually comfortable but don't think so. To each his own.

I can customise ribbons in XML that was not the question. - Question was there a VBA option to disable the Editor Pane or not? - Guess not.

Thank you for chat.
