Seeing the arrows prompts a question. Have you done a tutorial on the expand/collapse feature in Word, specifically how to add and remove the arrows?

[@erinwrightwriting]

Thank you so much for watching! For clarification, do you mean expanding and collapsing the ribbon/toolbar?

[@greg_waxberg]

@@erinwrightwriting I mean expanding and collapsing sections within a document, where an arrow appears next to a section header.

[@erinwrightwriting]

@@greg_waxberg Thank you for the clarification. Without removing the heading styles, I don't believe the arrows can be removed. However, I will certainly do some research on that topic.
