Default character map

I have a spreadsheet that has tick boxes in them that I cant delete or cut.
Please can anyone tell me how to do this and they are no longer required.

I'm not sure what your Subject line has to do with your question... usually
it is a good idea to make them related. Also, you haven't given us a lot of
information to go on, but you can try the following procedures to see if one
of them works for you.

1) Right-click on one of the controls. If you get a shaded outline around
it, left-click on that outline (to get rid of the popup menu that probably
appeared and press the Delete key.

2) If you didn't get a shaded outline by right-clicking a control, then
click View/Toolbars on Excel's menu bar and click the Visual Basic item in
order to put a check mark next to it. Doing this will add the Visual Basic
toolbar to your worksheet. Click the Design Mode icon (it looks like a
triangle, ruler and pencil) to highlight it. Now left-click the control to
select it and then press the Delete key.

My guess is that one of the above procedures (or maybe both if you have a
mixture of controls) will let you delete the controls from your worksheet.
