When I scroll through an Openoffice.org Writer document I have a constant tooltip with page number and (when applicable) the bullet I might be hovering over.

It frequently obstructs the text and is rarely useful, can I just turn it off permanently? I've looked through the tons of options but haven't found anything to shut it off.

RHEL 5.5, openoffice.org3-3.2.0-9483 (package Vendor: OpenOffice.org).

Tools | Options | OpenOffice.org | General | Tips

you can turn off tips in Tools>Options>General

Then you also need to restore the "what is this?" button on your toolbar since all tooltips will be off and the button can give back that functionality when used. Go to tools>Customize>Toolbars and in Standard toolbar turn on the button [at the bottom of the list].

In a Mac version: OpenOffice.org > Preferences > Openoffice.org > general > under 'help,' uncheck the tips box!
