I had a similar problem with Outlook. I had a word with the first two letters
as caps.
I was tempted to turn off the capitalization autocorrect when I discovered
that I could
enter an list of exceptions. There may be something like that in Excel also
since it all
seems to work the same way.

It is autocorrect, but it is the option to Capitalize the first letter of a
sentence. If I uncheck that in Tools=Autocorrect, it doesn't do that. (at
least for me in xl97).

Hi Mike,

In my job there is a piece of equipment called a uBR

Maybe, a colleague has added this to as an autocorrect setting?

Excel is not the only app that does this and I have tried it on WinXP
home
and pro with similar results. Maybe someone here has the answer. Turn on
Caps Lock and type uBR(space) using the Shift key to produce the lower
case
u. As soon as you hit the Space Bar the text reverses case to Ubr. Any
takers on this? In my job there is a piece of equipment called a uBR and
I
was trying to type an all caps header in Excel 2000 that said uBR PORTS.
After several attempts and a re-boot, I watched the text carefully after
each keystroke and that is what I found.
