I am trying to enter WYA into a cell in Excel2003

As I enter it, I can clearly see the letters WYA being inserted into the
cell

When I press enter, the Cell changes to WAY

I have tried this on 3 different computers - each of them on a different
version of Excel

What is happening ?

It's called Auto Correct and is available via the Tools menu.

The "replace text as you type" option has a list of commonly typed mistakes
which you can edit.
