How to avoid duplicate characters if only typed once?
While in a spreadsheet, I started typing a character, but two of every
character showed in the formula line. When I hit enter, nothing showed up in the cell. I tried using a different cell and the same thing happened. |

The first thing I would do would be to swap keyboards. It sounds to me like a
hardware problem. bonniep53 wrote: While in a spreadsheet, I started typing a character, but two of every character showed in the formula line. When I hit enter, nothing showed up in the cell. I tried using a different cell and the same thing happened. -- Dave Peterson |

Thanks for your input Dave. I have been using Excel for a long time and
never came across a situation like this. It was so wierd, every character I typed came up as a double character, but nothing ever showed up in the cell. Eventually, I closed the document and re-opened it. I have not had the problem since. "Dave Peterson" wrote: The first thing I would do would be to swap keyboards.

Remember, if it only happened once, it didn't really happen!
