Excel is not the only app that does this and I have tried it on WinXP home
and pro with similar results. Maybe someone here has the answer. Turn on Caps Lock and type uBR(space) using the Shift key to produce the lower case u. As soon as you hit the Space Bar the text reverses case to Ubr. Any takers on this? In my job there is a piece of equipment called a uBR and I was trying to type an all caps header in Excel 2000 that said uBR PORTS. After several attempts and a re-boot, I watched the text carefully after each keystroke and that is what I found. Mike F |

Hi Mike,
In my job there is a piece of equipment called a uBR Maybe, a colleague has added this to as an autocorrect setting? --- Regards, Norman "Mike Fogleman" wrote in message news:XtI6d.284334$Fg5.45322@attbi_s53...

It is autocorrect, but it is the option to Capitalize the first letter of a
sentence. If I uncheck that in Tools=Autocorrect, it doesn't do that. (at least for me in xl97). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Norman Jones" wrote in message ...

I had a similar problem with Outlook. I had a word with the first two letters
as caps. I was tempted to turn off the capitalization autocorrect when I discovered that I could enter an list of exceptions. There may be something like that in Excel also since it all seems to work the same way. "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: It is autocorrect, but it is the option to Capitalize the first letter of a sentence.

Mike,
In Office 2K it seems to be controlled by the "Correct Accidental use of Caps Lock" setting. Although the Exceptions route may be better. NickHK "Tom Ogilvy" wrote in message ...

Unchecking "Correct Accidental use of Caps Lock" setting does stop the
situation, but there seems to be no exception setting that will work. "NickHK" wrote in message ... Mike, In Office 2K it seems to be controlled by the "Correct Accidental use of Caps Lock" setting.

I got it. Replace ubr with uBR in the auto correct list.
