Dear All,

For some reason a colleagues excel (Microsoft Office Pro 2016) is adding about 1mb of hidden autoshapes to our spreadsheets. We don't know why this is happening it's literally hundreds of hidden small squares.

I use the F5, Special, select all objects and delete to get rid of them but the process takes like 15 minutes (and I have a more or less fast PC).

Is there any way to disable her autoshapes to avoid this problem?

Many thanks!!!!
