I don't use xl2003, but it kind of sounds like your keyboard is sick.

Any chance you have stuck keys?

If you try typing something in NotePad, does it behave strangely?

If you reboot, does the problem go away?

If this doesn't help, hitting what keys causes exactly what.

this would be appreciated.
