Right click on the textbox (near the edge usually works best) and choose CUT
to remove it.
Be aware that if any macros refer to the control, they may fail to function
once it's gone.

The toolbox for forms creation is available from View | Toolbars | Forms
there is a similar one in there called ToolBox (same look, different
functionality).

Forms are now created and maintained within the Visual Basic Editor.

I copied some data from a website and without intending to brought a check
box with the data. I have tried to remove it but can't. Deleting cells or
even the row the box is in doesn't do it. Years ago I had to create forms on
a job and at the time knew how to create check boxes. But I can't find a
Forms Creation tab in my present version of Excel (Microsoft Office 2003).
Can anyone help me? I'd really like to get the check box out of my spread
sheet. Thanks.
