repeating characters - What gives?
 

A co-worker yesterday showed me in an excel file they were working how that
in a blank cell after they entered, say "cat" (without the quote marks)
the same cell showed:

catcatcatcatcatcat

I deleted the cells contents - re-enterd, same results
I formatted as General, same results;
I gave up...
Any Other ideas as to what to try??
Tks in Advance..

Format|cells|Alignment tab|Horizontal alignment may be set for "fill"

<Format <Cells <Alignment tab,

And *change* the selection in the "Horizontal" window to something other
then *Fill*.
