Sorry, I neglected to mention Excel is the application. Also, the workbook is
not shared. It's a fairly plain jane workbook.

It's a worksheet I worked on before. I just opened it up again. When I moved
the cursor over the autotext to select it for editing, it becomes the circle
and slash for "forbidden". Thus, I cannot select the object at all. This is a
password protected workbook, so nobody could have altered it.
