Or, choose Edit>Go To, click Special
Select Objects, click OK
Press the Delete key, to delete any objects that were selected.

It was a "word art" object that was somehow stuck and squished in the
spreadsheet. How it gets into my old excel files - I do not know. I never
even had a text box like this in this spreadsheet. Once the object is light
up (thanks to the above procedure) I can stretch it out and delete it.

How does this get imbedded like this?

Thanks,

webermis
 
Since it was squished, maybe it was accidentally copied from another
file, and you didn't notice it till later.
