Try this:

In an empty cell type: (c)

Excel will convert it like you said.

With that cell still selected goto the menu ToolsAutoCorrect Options

It should open to the AutoCorrect tab where you'll see the setting. Just
select that setting then delete it.

When I enter (c) or (C) in Excel 2003 I get this icon © . This is the
results when I enter (c). Example: sin(c) becomes sin ©

This is strange????

Thanks for your help.
