Some Excel spreadsheet cells have a red star on the left side of the cell bagarow[ at ]yahoo.com 26.09.2006 12:03:24 Hi A few cells in a spreadsheet (that is being used as an address book) have a single red star each on the left side of the cell. I cannot delete these red starts. If I copy the cell, the new cell also has the red star. I am using Excel 2002. Can anyone advise why these red stars are appearing in some of the cells? Thanks Bob

See this on how to remove them: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.excel.misc/browse_thread/thread/93f7869b24f89b66/e665862ea497fc5d%23e665862ea497fc5d Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit.
