Delete a clipart from Excel which doesn't appear in a cell?

[Guest]

A coworker copied and pasted some info from a website into an Excel
spreadsheet and inadvertently also copied a small clipart which says GO. It
does not appear to be in any cell and cannot be deleted from the spreadsheet.
We have tried deleting all the cells around it, clicking on it to delete it,
cut the cells around it and just about everything else. When you click on
it, it does not show the arrows around it as most pictures do. It does not
have a right-click menu either. The only difference in it's appearance is
that it will get a little bigger when you click on it, but once the mouse
moves, it goes back to it's normal size. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank
you!

VLarzae: You have to get into design mode. go to the view Menu - Toolbars -
Control Toolbox. On this toolbar is a triangle which is design mode. Click
this item once. then you should be able to click the clipart and the delete
it.

View|toolbars|and show the control toolbox toolbar.
click on the design mode icon
Try deleting that shape again.

If you don't have any shapes on that sheet that you really want.

Edit|goto|special|Objects
hit the delete key on the keyboard
(There could be shapes that were pasted that you haven't seen/noticed)

And click on that design mode icon once more to get back to normal.
