How do I delete a checkbox in excel 2007

[Yingling]

I have several checkboxes in a spreadsheet that I want to remove. How can
this be done?

If they are Form control check boxes, you can right click on them and then
select cut. If they are Active X controls you need to enter desgin mode.

To do this click on the office button in the top left corner, then select
excel options and make sure the Show Developer tab in the ribbon box is
checked.

Then go to the Developer tab in the ribbon, click the Design Mode icon in
the controls section to turn on design mode.

You can then right click on the text box and cut it.

when done, click on the Design Mode incon again to exit design mode.

Hi,

1. Choose Developer tab, Design Mode
2. Press F5, Special, Objects
3. Press Delete

The first step are not necessary if the checkboxes are Form controls

That did not work

select cut. If they are Active X controls you need to enter desgin mode.

Homey is correct. I just want one box removed

 

[Dave Peterson]

So what kind of checkboxes are they?

What do you see in the namebox if you select one of them?

You'll want to try Paul's suggestion once more before you respond. I bet one of
them will work.

Dave,

They are form control check boxes. In my research I found Paul's solution
and have tried it on a couple of the boxes. I believe the problem was that
the design mode icon was taggled on and the cut was not working

 

[Dave Peterson]

That means that you got it to work???????
