remove text that pops up with combo box

I am editing an Excel MS Office 2000 worksheet someone else created.

When I press on a combo box that has a drop down menu on this worksheet, a
seperate yellow text box pops up beside it. I was to delete it or change the
text in this pop up description box.

I can move it around the screen, but I can't delete it or edit it in any
way. It is so annoying, please help.

Are you sure this is a combo box? It is more likely to be data
validation in the cell. Select one of the cells, from the menu
Data>Validation. Then select the Input Message Tab and uncheck the box
next to Show Input Message when cell is selected.

Hope this helps
