Mysterious words appear
 

One of the computers at my work just started inserting random a word in
each cell of any new spreadsheet. We watched this for several minutes
before ending the program, and this bug filled several hundred cells in
that time. We are using Excel 2003. We checked the computer with
Symantec Anti-Virus 10, Microsoft Anti-Spy ware Beta, Spybot search &
destroy, and Adaware. There were no detected threats. We do not use
Voice recognition software, or have macros running. Has anyone else
experienced this, or is there anyone who might have a solution to fix
it?

It probably has voice recognition activated.
