auto hide

A mode that causes the docked Office Shortcut Bar to remain off the edge of the screen when you're not using it. A small border appears on the edge of the screen where the Office Shortcut Bar is hidden; when you point to that edge of the screen, the Office Shortcut Bar reappears. The Auto Hide Between Uses check box has no effect when the Office Shortcut Bar is minimized or floating, or when the Auto Fit Into Title Bar Area check box is selected and the Office Shortcut Bar is docked at the top of the screen.
