I want to keep several autoshapes, but for some reason they have been formatted to accept text. I don't need any text, just the shape. However, whenever I click inside of one, the whole thing turns white, ready for text.

There are multiple shapes nested inside one another to give a basic diagram of some of our equipment and I don't want to redraw every single shape. Is there any way to right-click and tell it there is no text at all? Or do I have to re-draw every shape and hope that this never happens again?
