yes, Richard, if you go to the first item which I think is insert format and you have a three finger swipe to the right they should go away and then if you want to go to the last item and hide stuff you have to go back up your keyboard to beyond the Q and the W and then you’ll see a button that says expand tool bar and if you I suppose if you hit on the button that will unhide it but I just did a three finger swipe to the left and it was all back. It didn’t work the first time I did it so maybe my jester was a little sloppy.
