Unwanted Watermark Says "External"

[ransomedbyfire]

I am making a spreadsheet that has background colors and borders with macros that rearrange the cells. For some reason, it started smearing blue text vertically down column 1 that says something about "Extern" and then some more jumbled text all on top of each other. What is this, and how can I get rid of it?

I have tried clearing all formatting; but then, when I run my macro again, it shows back up. I have no idea what is going on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you post a copy of the file? See my signature for options.

mvptomlinson, I appreciate your suggestion. But the file does not belong to me; so, I do not have liberty to post it here. I ended up clearing out the contents of that sheet and copying data from an older version of the sheet that I had saved. I think this has fixed the problem.
