superimpossed field that I cannot remove
If someone can help me, I'd appreciate it. I have a superimpossed field or item that does not clear. I try to erase, delete, cut and I cannot figure out how to get rid of it. If I click on it, I can write on it, but I do not want it.
I have a surface laptop with Office Home and Student 2016.
Here is a screenshot of it.
Hi Patricia,
You have lot of boxes one under one. To delete on ribbon Home->Find & Select-Go to Special
Here select Objects, Ok
Now all your boxes are to be selected
Click Del
Hi Angela,
How did you try to delete it? Try to click on the border of that box, most probably you'll see
press Del then
Dear Sergei,
Thank you for replying.The field does not respond to anything other than opening a second box to insert a check mark. I can write text on it, it has a live cursor, but I cannot eliminate it. When I get to the edge an arrow or a double lined cross opens, but I cannot get rid of it. I have tried Del, I have tried right-click / delete,I have tried moving it with drag and drop (does not move)Attached is a capture of this thing with the check mark and writing on it.Angela, could you please make a copy of your file, delete all information (or at least sensitive one) and attach that file to your post here
