Default Removing HTML "checkbox" from Excel

I received a spreadsheet that had data copied from a website. It has
"checkboxes" that I cannot get rid of. I have tried right clicking and then
deleting, deleting columns, coping the sheeting into an new workbook, and
they will not go away. Is there a way to make them go away? Thank you.

Try one of these

Sub DeleteSheetDrawingObjects()
ActiveSheet.DrawingObjects.Delete
ActiveWorkbook.Save
End Sub

Sub shapescut1() 'Tom Ogilvy
ActiveSheet.Shapes.SelectAll
Selection.Delete
End Sub

Thank you for the suggestion. I just have one more question for you. Where in
Excel do I insert this information? I am not able to right click on the box.
Unfortunately, we have Office 2007 and it is not as user friendly as XP was.

They are macros, Alt+F11 will open the VB editor
