Mysterious cell content in Excel-How to delete?

Factual Questions
1

I have some excel templates that I do my work on. I shall create some new ones later, but, currently I am stuck with these.
So, when I create my new xl document, there is nothing in thecells at the top of the page. In Print Preview, there is some mysterious content (from a previous creation) and, of course, it prints it out. Can you help me get rid of this junk?
Excel 2007 is my current version.
Thanks,

I’m going the guess that’s a header. Go to Page Layout -> Page Setup -> Header/Footer and delete whatever is there.

No, that didn’t work. I tried it as you suggested, but, there wasn’t content in the box designated for it. Thanks, though.

I suggest you create a free account at http://www.excelforum.com/, where you can post and also attach files. This kind of problem almost certainly requires someone to look at your actual file.

Try opening it in OpenOffice and if you can remove it from there (or maybe it won’t appear and you can save a clean version).

Is there really nothing in the cells, or is there white text on a white background? I sometimes see this given as advice on how to hide content, but it’s not very good advice because it still prints out (as you may have discovered).

Is it possible there was a floating text box or graphic image that got compressed after rows were deleted? If that is the case then try moving the mouse around until something highlights then right click and delete it. I had this happen before and it was a series of objects that had to be deleted so I had to repeat the process until all were removed.

Just got back to SDMB.
Thanks everybody, for the answers. I’ll be going over it and see which of you were right!

Thanks,
