Once again, Microsoft Word has got me frustrated to the
point of screaming. I despise this program and its
Byzantine configuration. I *never* use Word as a mail
editor, yet often I accidentally acztivate the mail
function, because I can't seem to purge it from the menus
and toolbars. This basically destroys the document for me,
as it takes away half of the screen space I have to work
with (I need other space for translation tools). How can I
get rid of this without having to throw the document away
and start over???? I have tried searching Help, but the
people who wrote the help seem to assume one would want to
use this function, not turn it off!

Make the same mistake twice. In other words from the File menu, select
Send.
You can via Tools>Customize, drag the item off the menu if you really want
to. But then, if you ever did want to use it, you would have to go that
route to reinstate it.
