Default get rid of drop down boxes in excel 2007

We have a spreadsheet that we sorted some of the inner rows. But now there
are drop down boxes on the first row of the data. How do we get rid of these
boxes?? They don't show on the print prieview, but we don't want them to
show at all. Thanks for any light you can shed on this---I KNOW one of you
can help!

When you click on Data/ Vaidation this should open a dialog box which contains
Settings - --- imput message ---- error alert
this should have a box in bottom left hand corner that says Clear All

Hi Bons,

It sounds like you have put a filter on your worksheet. Go to
HomeEditingSort&Filter and select "Filter". This should remove the filter
from your worksheet. Also the keyboard shortcut is ALT-D-F-F.
