Depending on the version, but in pre xl2007 I would go to the right end of the standanrd tool bar and look for the drop down arrow. Upon selection of this arrow I would remove the check mark from the formate painter. This will remove it (Hide it) from displaying on the standard tool bar. If you are just tryiing to cancel the formating mode just click on the paint brush icon on the tool bar. Mike Rogers "mcandrj" wrote: Is there an option to hide or cancel the format painter? |

If you just single-click, it will only be applied once. If you really want to get rid of it, right click in the toolbar area, select customize; then drag the format painter off the toolbar. --ron |

Maybe you mean something other than "format painter"?
