Can someone tell me how to delete all text boxes imbedded within a spreasheet. I have a spreadsheet with over 100 boxes and I would like to delete all of the text boxes.


Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Why are there 1,048,576 rows in Excel?
The Excel team increased the size of the grid in 2007. There are 2^20 rows and 2^14 columns for a total of 17 billion cells.
If you just left the text boxes with their generic names of TextBox1, TextBox2, etc., you could do something like this:

Code:
Dim myTxt As Shape
    
    For Each myTxt In Sheet1.Shapes
        If Mid(myTxt.Name, 1, 7) = "TextBox" Then
            myTxt.Delete
        End If
    Next myTxt
