Thanks again Josh for explaining and such a quick reply, my problem seems to be that when I go to admin panel>settings> ultimate tinymce does not appear on the list, alternatively if I got to Plug-ins>installed plug-ins>
wp-insert
Deactivate | Edit
The ultimate wordpress plugin
Version 1.7.6 | By Namith Jawahar | Visit plugin site
the above are my choices for ultimate tinymce and none of them appear to give me the option to select buttons.
Sorry if I am missing something very simple in your instructions, but I am still lost!
