changed to capital letter
 

when I type the word true in small letters and hit the enter key excel
automatically changes it to capital letterTRUE
does anybody know why?
do I need to do something in the options set up?

changed to capital letter
 

Both TRUE and FALSE have a special meaning in Excel. These are called
logical values (often referred to as Boolean values). These *are not TEXT
values*.

If you want to enter true as a TEXT value precede the entry with an
apostrophe: 'true

The apostrophe will not be displayed in the cell.
