Try:
Tools|Options|transition tab Uncheck "transition navigation keys" I've unchecked all those Lotus 123 transition settings. If you need them, don't do it. But if you're like most excel users, I'd uncheck them. mlu wrote: After entering a text in a cell or in the function field, when i go back in the cell an apostrophe apear in front of the text.

Go to ToolsOptionsTransition tab and uncheck any Lotus checkboxes.
Specifically "transition navigation keys". I bet you are getting other strange things happening also. Like hit Tab key and the whole sheet moves.

Checking the "transition navigation keys" only allows you to see that
apostrophe. It doesn't clean any visible (or invisible) apostrophe. Jentothephils wrote: what's the deal if none of the boxes are checked (and I still have the apostrophe)? please advise.
