Cannot delete formula in Word

Anonymous

I am using Word 2010 with extension .dot (which is a 2007 file) and I typed in an equation using the formula function, and now cannot delete the formula!!!!

Having spent the last 3 days creating my fillable form, I do not want to start over. Anyone have an idea?  I have tried delete, backspace, opening the formula window and deleting there. Nothing works.

Thanks!

Have you applied protection to the document?  If so, remove it and then try and delete the formula.
