when pressing forward slash key numbers appear below headings
 

I appear to have set the forward slash ket (/) so that it does not appear in
the selected cell but initiates numbers to items on the toolbars.
If I do a sequence of keys with the forward slash in the sequence then it
types OK

when pressing forward slash key numbers appear below headings
 

The default for forward slash in excel is a quick access to your menu items.
Check your Tools--Options, Transition tab if you want that to be a different
character. Or you can leave it blank and it will type as normal. Or, if you
are entering text data into a cell that starts with a /, you can enter a
single quote ' first, and then the slash.

Hope this helps.

You can prefix your entry with an apostrophe: '/whatever goes here

Or you can turn off a Transition setting.

In xl2003 menus:
tools|Options|transition tab|
remove the / character from "Microsoft Office Excel menu key:" box
