Greetings -
Our company just implemented Office 2010 from 2003. Sadly, there are many thing not to like about the changes, but #1 on my hate-list is the Check Out Required banner.
Is it possible to lose the obnoxious, unnecessary, DISTRACTING yellow banner that pops up every time one opens or checks-in a SharePoint document? What's *particularly* annoying is that when one checks in a document, the banner reappears.
Anyone who's used Word/SharePoint for more than a day ALREADY KNOWS that one needs to check out a document before it can be modified (hence the (wonderfully subtle/discreet) [Read-Only] note in the Title bar).
Honestly, it's like being asked if one wants pablum pre-chewed before being offered a spoonful.

So -- can it be turned off?
Insight welcome.
Thanks kindly,
- Richard
