Text Box Troubles...
Hello - I am using Excel 2007 and on some of my files I notice that the slow way down when I try to change any data in the cells. While trying to find the casue of this slowdown I use the Page Layout tab and then Selection Pane and the window that opens shows many Text Boxes that I have not placed in this spreadsheet. It takes a few minutes to delete all of these text boxes and then save the workbook and all is fine. But I would like to know how these text boxes pop up and why. Has anyone had this same problem?
Thank you so very much for any assistance!

To turn calculation to manual:
