Strange Named Ranges

[Barb Reinhardt]

I'm using Excel 2007 and am getting some compatibility errors when saving a
file as a .xls file. Anyway, I'm checking the named ranges and when I list
them out using some code I prepared, I have a bunch of names that look like
this:

Defect Summary'!Z_856B468A_867D_4C40_9C74_F4AE145D3584_.wvu.Cols
Defect Summary'!Z_856B468A_867D_4C40_9C74_F4AE145D3584_.wvu.PrintArea
Defect Summary'!Z_BDF4DCB3_66F4_468C_B839_B4DBA2393C10_.wvu.Cols
Defect Summary'!Z_BDF4DCB3_66F4_468C_B839_B4DBA2393C10_.wvu.PrintArea
Defect Summary'!Z_D7C000CA_0BF8_42CF_8BE1_4F5288B469FF_.wvu.Cols
Defect Summary'!Z_D7C000CA_0BF8_42CF_8BE1_4F5288B469FF_.wvu.PrintArea


I do have a worksheet 'Defect Summary', but I don't know where the Z_ ...
part came from. I have another handful that apply to another worksheet.
Can someone shed some light on the source of these? They also don't display
in the name manager within Excel.

Thanks,
Barb Reinhardt

I've done some Googling and found references to names like this being tied to
CustomViews. I checked the workbook and there are no customViews. Might
these be artifacts of old ones?

Thanks,
