What is blue symbol bottom right corner of cell

[frustrated]

My worksheet that was created by someone not here anymore has over 2500
pages. At the end of the worksheet in a cell is a little blue symbol in the
bottom right hand corner. If I delete that cell, it merely moves the symbol
to another cell. If I delete that column, the symbol moves to the next
column. I need to delete all these additional pages. This worksheet is
linked to another document.

Sounds like Data>List except the blue asterisk would be in the bottom left
corner of the List and the List area would be outlined in Blue Border.

Is that the case?

If so, select a cell in the List and Data>List>Convert To Range

Hi,

This is the options button. If you click it you will see options related to
the command you just did.

If these bother you simple choose Tools, Options, Edit, and turn off the
Show paste option bottons and Show insert option bottons.

If this helps, please click the Yes button,

cheers,
