Since I don't have any intention of ever using it, it's unlikely I'll ever get a good look at what controls are available, but in most such programs, if there is a "files," "view," or "tools" selection that may be where you'll find options to turn "features" on or off. With the "modern" trend to unintelligible icons and an icon for everything you're allowed to do, about all I can suggest is click everything one at a time and see if you can guess what happened. (30% right indicates you're an idiot, 10% is a pretty good score, if you get a zero it means you really understand. - Microserfs all have to beat 94% to get paid this week.)

Of course with the Win8 influence you're supposed to be able to just "wave things on and off the screen" so "jump down, turn around, ..." well you probably know the rest of that song better than I do. I think the Microsoft idea is that if you don't wiggle and waggle until you're dizzy and daft it's not supposed to do anything, because otherwise you'd realize it doesn't actually do much of anything very useful.
