Tools ... Options ... Error Checking Tab ... Rules

Uncheck the ones you do not want to apply ...

Recovering from major crash, had to reload XP and Office 2003, etc. Now
when I open an Excel workbook, I get a small triangular mark in the upper
left-hand corner of some cells. Apparently to do with formatting. Anyway,
try as I might I can't find the right box to click to get rid of it.

Been here before but I don't remember what to do. Appreciate any
suggestions

Thx
