I believe both your's and Anne's methods will only work for native drawing
objects and not for ActiveX controls. The OP's check box is likely an ActiveX
control. I went to my own web account and copied a check box and pasted it to
the worksheet. I could not activate the control using either your's or Anne's
methods.

Best regards,
Greg

Another way is to select the "Select Objects" arrow from the Drawing
toolbar.
Encircle all the object such that each is selected.
Than click "Delete".

Try this:
1) Select ViewToolbarsControl Toolbox.
2) Activate the Design Mode control at the top-left corner of the toolbar
(the tool tip should say "Design Mode").
3) Hold the mouse pointer over the check box. It should turn into a
four-way
arrow. 4) Select the check box.
4) Click the <Delete button.

Greg

I copied a couple of lines from one of my accounts on line. I mistakenly
copied a form field (a check box). I can't remove the box. I have tried
to
delete the whole row. I have done clear contents. I have changed the
cell
formatting. I don't know what else to do. When I delete the row it
moves to
the next row.
