Hi Rose,
You've turned on the display of the gallery. To turn it off (or turn it on again if you feel that you need it at some time) click the icon that looks like a picture frame hanging. It's near the binocular and magnifying glass icons.

I am using Openoffice 2 and I don't even know how to characterize my problem.  
As you will see, I am a novice.
I have been happily typing and saving documents in openoffice.  All of a 
sudden, when I am on a document or blank page, I began to get a whole bunch of 
stuff across the top of the page.  It uses up a good deal of space that was 
just part of my document before.  Nothing I do can make it go away.  It just 
seems there to stay.  I don't know how it got there.  Here's what it looks like:

On the left hand side is a vertical list:
New Theme
Backgrounds
Rulers
Sounds
My Theme
etc., etc.

On the first row across the top is an address, which changes depending on what icons 
I hit:  e.g.,  "c:///C?/Programfiles/openoffice.org2.01/share/gallery/etc. etc.
Below this row are the various backgrounds, bullets, symbols, musical notes, 
etc. depending on which list butten I click.

This whole thing takes up two to three inches of my document space.  I don't 
want it.  I don't need it.  Can anyone tell me how to get this off my screen???

If I am not writing to the write place for info, can you direct me to the place 
that could help me?

Thank you, whoever you are.
