Thanks. It is a so-called ActiveX combo box.
Make sure that you see the Developer tab of the ribbon. If not:
- Select File > Options.
- Select 'Customize Ribbon' in the navigation pane on the left.
- Tick the check box Developer in the list of Main Tabs on the right.
- Click OK.
Activate the Developer tab of the ribbon.
In the Controls group, click to highlight Design Mode.
You can now select the combo box by clicking on it.
Press Delete to remove it.
Don't forget to turn off Design Mode again.
