Hi All,

I started my Personal Macro Workbook recently. In Project Explorer, there are two Files that I did not open or save; one has a password so I cannot see what modules & sheets are in it, and the second allows me to open it, but I cannot remove/delete ant of the sheets/modules.

How do I delete both of these files?

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
You don't delete files from PE. If they appear there, they are open workbooks or xla/xlam format add-ins, so you need to either close them or uninstall them.
