Hi there! It sounds like you're dealing with a frustrating issue, but don't worry, I'm here to help. Here are a few steps you can try to delete the object from your document:

1. Try selecting the object by clicking and dragging your cursor over it. If it's a border or banner, it may be possible to select it this way.
2. If that doesn't work, try using the "Select Objects" tool. This can be found by clicking on the "Home" tab, then clicking on the arrow next to "Select" in the "Editing" section. From there, choose "Select Objects" and try clicking on the object again.
3. If neither of those options work, you may need to use the "Drawing Tools" tab. Click on the "Insert" tab, then choose "Shapes" and select a shape that's similar to the object you're trying to delete. Draw the shape over the object, then right-click on the shape and choose "Send to Back" "Send Behind Text". This should hide the object behind the shape you just drew.
4. If all else fails, you may need to use the "Find and Replace" tool. Click on the "Home" tab, then choose "Replace" in the "Editing" section. In the "Find what" field, type in a unique word or phrase that appears within the object (such as the sideways text you mentioned). In the "Replace with" field, leave it blank. Click "Replace All" and Word should remove all instances of the object from your document.

I hope one of these solutions works for you!
