You have saved a range of cells as a picture by SHIFTEditCopy Picture

The name box shows the name of the picture.

The file is still an Excel *.xls file or you couldn't have opened it.

Click on the movable picture and you should be able to EditClearAll

Your actual data may be hidden behind the picture. No guarantees though<g

I created an Excel workbook containing 572 cells (11 columns and 52
rows).

I saved the workbook as STSNBR.XLS.

I can open the STSNBR.XLS file (which even has the Excel icon) in
Excel.

However, on the "Formula Bar", the "Name Box" says "Picture 3".
(Normally, the column-and-row location of a cell would be displayed in
the "Name Box").

A very light "border" surrounds each "cell" but, when I refer to that
"cell" in a formula -- for example, =left(a1,6) -- the destination cell
is empty.

When I hold down and drag the right mouse-button, the entire "picture"
moves.
