Hello everyone.

I received an Excel file containing checkboxes that I don't need.
Additionally, because of the column containing these checkboxes, the page is too wide when printed... Deleting the column doesn't remove the checkboxes!!!
To delete these checkboxes, I "found" a way to do it, namely: right-clicking on the checkbox, cutting (CTRL X), and so on for each checkbox... which takes a ridiculous amount of time!

Is there not a faster way to remove all the checkboxes on a page in one operation?

Thanks already for your answers.

Claude.

Hello

To delete, add a small icon in the ribbon that will allow you to erase all items at once (with the option to choose the items)
to add the icon in the ribbon:
Click on the OFFICE button
Click on Excel Options (at the bottom)
Click on Customize
in the pane "Choose commands from the following categories," select "commands not available on the ribbon"
search in the list for "Select multiple objects"
click on Add then OK

from there, click on this icon that has been added to the ribbon, all the objects on the sheet will be displayed, you just have to make your choice and delete?

after the operation, click on the icon again to disable it.

I did exactly what you just did for the same problem as Claude, but when I click on my new icon, my list is empty even though I have 152 checkboxes on my page.

Simpler:
- on the sheet: F5
- click on "cells" in the bottom left of the window that just opened
- select "objects"
