If you can't highlight the box and delete, try deleting rows if you don't
have any other data in those rows.

I have entered a text box and colored it in an excel worksheet (Office 2003)
for marking it as a draft version.
Now it proves impossible to remove that text box, which is not linked to a
cell but to its place on the screen.
The text box simply cannot be accessed any more.
What should I do?
