"fixed object" warning message

[Grldtn]

I received a warning message while attempting to cut a group of cells from
one sheet to move them to another sheet. "warning - fixed objects will move"
with only an OK button, no chance to cancel out. What is a fixed object?
After putting the cut group onto the new sheet, Excel generated an error and
crashed.

Also, Dave Peterson posted this advice:
'================
Someone with the same problem posted back that their comments were
getting resized causing the trouble.

Maybe enabling: Tools|Options|View|Comment and indicator
(at least for a little bit will help.)

Or, perhaps William's suggestion in the following posting will help:

He advised the following:
'=======================
"if you have a button on your worksheet, right click on the button,
select "Format Control", select "Properties" and then select "Move and
Size with cells"
