Disable yellow tooltip boxes in Word 2008?

[67952]

This is driving me nuts. I'm working with a 400 page document where I frequently have to change styles. When I'm scrolling through the list, the huge styles tooltip hoverboxes pop up. They obscure 3 or 4 style options at a time, so I have to scroll farther than necessary to see them.

I've searched Words' preferences, but I can't find out where to disable the tooltips. Can someone help me out? I know this is probably a basic question, but I appreciate your help!

I have it set to 0. But I'm not sure if I was clear. I'm trying to disable the tooltips from showing up in the Toolbox window. I've added a picture to my first post...

I can't get popups like that to appear on mine in the first place, so I don't know how to turn them off. Hopefully, someone will have an idea.
