Excel form has underlines

I have a form that has two cells with a red wavy underline. I cannot highlight the wavy underline and I cannot remove/delete it. 

I does not show up when I do a printout of the form.

It appeared in a new cell when I added two rows to the bottom of an existing form.

Normally it should wait until you type a character that usually denotes the end of a word, such as a space character, a period or a comma. Even this website does that if you are typing a reply and have what it thinks is a spelling error. In Word you can get rid of the wavy underlines by turning off spell checking while you type:

    Can you post a screen-shot please? It sounds like a spell-checker highlight but as far as I know Excel doesn't "do" that?
