Hi,

Try the following steps:

1. Open palette

2. Evaluate the command
Notebooks[]
to find the index of notebook object

3. Let's 1 is its number. Then run

Options@Notebooks[][[1]]

to get palette options
and

NotebookPut[Take[NotebookGet@Notebooks[][[1]], 1]]

to remove its options and get the rest as regular notebook.

4. Use shortcut Ctrl-E to read, copy and edit cells containing buttons
or some other special features
