Thank you Roger, for responding. I finally figured out that somehow I had
clicked Sheet 2 as well, creating a "Group," something I had not intended to
do, especially since I had no idea that I COULD do that. I had to click on
Sheet 3 (not part of the group) to clear out the group, then my sheet was
normal.

Thanks again,
Patti

Grrrrr. Created a text box in a wksht that I have been using for about
two
weeks. Suddenly today I can't access the text box. If I even move my
cursor
OVER the text box, my cursor changes to a circle with a slash through it
(like no smoking, no parking, etc.) So obviously I have ****ed off this
worksheet somehow. I can't enter text, I can't click on it to delete it.
If
I click on the Insert Tab like I want to insert a new text box, it's
grayed
out so I can't. What gives??? And why is Office 2007 Help so lame???

Thanks for letting me vent.
