Hello all, I got a problem on my excel files. Hope you may help. I don't know why, many of my excel files have a huge number of Text Boxes. It's over 50,000 and they're all empty. As a result, it slows down my computer. Whenever I edit the files, it takes more than 10 seconds to move one cell to another. So, I can't do anything on them anymore. I've checked my computer and it's no virus. I'm still using Excel 97. Any one of you have the same experience? Why this happened? You will help me a lot if you could solve my problem. Many thanks!
