If yo have 2003 then look under this menu

file - Properties - Custom - Properties

These may be queries or tables that have been added into the workbook. the
only way of deleting them is to delete the data in the Assumption worksheet.
Highlight the entire worksheet using Cntl- A and then press the delete key.

I have a spreadsheet with some range names in it (at least that's what I
think they are) whose definitions dont look like [file]'sheet'!range, and
whose names have periods, which is normally illegal.

For example:
wrn.Assumptions.

is defined as
={"Assumptions",#N/A,FALSE,"Model"}

I can see these names only from code, i.e., by enumerating
ThisWorkbook.Names -- they don't appear in Insert/Name/Define,
Insert/Name/Paste/List or Goto or anywhere else, and there are no formulas
which refer to any of these names. And when I try to delete them in code,
they won't go away.

What are these, and how do I get rid of them?
