Excel: type "ACN" into a cell and you get "CAN" why?
 

Excel must not like Accenture, because when you type in the ticker for
Accenture which is ACN, excel will automatically change it to CAN. I have
tried it with other three letter combinations such as ATM which you would
think would be then corrected to MAT or ANP which you would think would be
corrected to PAN. Nada. Just with ACN.

In Excel, Open Tools Options Click on Spelling Tab click on Autocorrect
options, find ACN and delete that entry

In Excel 2000, the AutoCorrect option is immediately under the TOOLS option
on the Standard Menu.

You can get to it through Spelling -- then click on Autocorrect button
