The format painter icon keeps appearing when I add or delete columns and rows
- it keeps blocking me from seeing what is in the cell and is a general
nuisance. I do not need the format painter, but I cant seem to find a way to
deactivate it, permanently if possible. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Actually it is probably not the Format Painter, but the Insert Options button
that is bothering you.

Tools>Options>Edit.

Uncheck the Insert Options and for me, also the Paste Options button.
