OT: Pesky How To pane in Acrobat

All:

My apologies for an OT post, but I'm trying to mark up a PDF created in FM 7 using Acrobat 7, and every time I click the Indicate Text Edits Tool, the How To pane replaces the Search PDF pane. I have read Acrobat Help, and there's no indication of how to disable the automatic display function of Help's How To feature. I did check the options under Edit > Preferences for General, Reviewing, and Commenting settings, but I didn't see anything to disable How To appearing. It only pops up when I click the Indicate Text Edits Tool. It doesn't show by default when I open Acrobat, and none of the other commenting or advanced editing tools seem to trigger it. Since I'm trying to use the results of the Search PDF function to locate various places for commenting, it's really annoying for that How To pane to keep replacing what I'm using. 

This seems to have started after installing some updates to Acrobat - never had the problem before that.  Any ideas would be appreciated, and you can reply offlist to keep from clogging the list with OT stuff.

Thanks,
Rene Stephenson
