Input period, but get .+
 

When typing entries in an EXCEL cell, I want to end the sentence with a
period. However, a plus sign appears after each period and I have to
go back and delete it. It's only been happening the last couple of
weeks, but I don't understand why.

Did I inadvertently change something in the formatting?

Cameron :confused:

Check your autocorrect options, Cameron. It sounds like you've got an
autocorrect to change a period to a period and a plus sign.
Tools--Autocorrect. Depending on the version, you may have to change the
autocorrect options in Word.

Anne:

Thanks for the response. And while it didn't have the autocorrect set
up that way initially, I put in to have .+ autocorrected to just the
period. Seems to be doing the trick.
