Neil and all,
This is one of those "secret" Drupal tricks that, once you've done it a few times, you don't even notice how counter-intuitive this method is. I was 2 years into using Drupal before I ran into your problem and someone pointed out that help-text to me. I had never noticed it before.
The help-text is clear, "To omit the body field for this content type, remove any text and leave this field blank" but its weird deleting a field by removing its label and it would be much more intuitive if this were managed on the "Manage Fields" page.
For Drupal 7, I believe the "body" field is going away altogether now that "fields" (aka CCK or much of CCK) is moving into core. I think that was the plan, but not sure if they got that far.

Hi all,
I've created a new content with CCK, all the fields are displayed correctly, but I don't use the Body field (displayed by default) and I would like to hide it, is it possible or not?
Goto to content management -> content type -> edit "content name" -> Submission form settings -> Body field label -> remove the label of this field -> save content type.
