How To Disable The Mini Toolbar In Microsoft Word 2010

The Mini Toolbar is a type of context menu that is automatically displayed when any particular text is selected and it remains semi-transparent until the mouse pointer is taken over it. It is a useful thing as it provides easy access to the most commonly used formatting options. It is the same toolbar which appears above the right-click menu when a user right-clicks on any particular selected text.

Here is how it looks when displayed automatically after you select any particular text in Word 2010.
