I don't have a Mac but you may be seeing the background error checking flag.
If so, you can turn off this feature (in Windows versions at least) under
Tools, Options, Error Checking.

I'm using the new Office 2004 for the Mac and first, I hate it! But, how
do I
get rid of the green (warning?) triangle in the cells. I haven't entered a
equation and I have no idea where it came from. Please help.
