Remove Hyperlink grayed out

I have Excel 2007 and a local copy of worksheet that was previously shared.

There are some fields that refer to broken hyperlinks that I wish to remove, however the "Remove Hyperlink" is grayed out.

Note: The "Pointing Up Hand" appears when mouse cursor is within these fields with broken hyperlinks. I wish this not to occur.

Thanks

Either Sharing or a Protected Worksheet will cause that. Is your worksheet protected?
