In Office Excel 2003, when I type WORD the cell displays ^WORD. Why? How do I
get it back to normal? The program does other erratic nonsense, but for now
focus on the mysterious caret.

Thanks for the help,

Dutch

Is it an autocorrect item (ToolsAutocorrect Options)?

Thanks Bob, but it is not an autocorrect item.

^ is the shortcut key for centering text in old (or current???) versions of
Lotus 123.

I'd turn off all those transition settings under:
tools|options|transition tab

to see if it helped.
