I am still having problems with entering the lower case i in Excel.
if I enter aeiou in a cell all is ok. However if I enter a e i o u, the
i is captialized.
Excel does not seem accept a stand alone lower case i.
One page I use I must enter an i in the upper section. After it
captializes it I can subsequently have no problems with the lower
case.
Anyone have a clue?

Hi, Ralphael. This is an Autocorrect issue. Tell it to stop upper-casing
your letter I. Here's how: From the menu, hit Tools--Autocorrect. Hit the
letter i on your keyboard to bring up the Autocorrect entry. You'll see the
culprit right away, I think. Delete that Autocorrect entry.

If, like me, you prefer to leave the auto correct entries alone and
simply undo XL's handiwork, type i space ctrl-z. The space causes XL
to make the auto correction and the ctrl-z tells XL to undo the
correction.

Many thanks for the solution to the 'eye' problem.
Now how do you handle the auto entry problem?
If I type "washing" first and later want only "wash" I must be aware
that auto enter is lurking and I will not get the word I want.

Type the portion of the text that you want, e.g. Wash, then press the
Delete key, to delete the unwanted text

Or, turn off Autocomplete:

Choose ToolsOptions
On the Edit tab, remove the check mark from
'Enable AutoComplete for cell values'

I'd turn the autocomplete off.

You can always turn it on when you really need it.

Tools|Options|Edit tab
is where you'd toggle it.

Autocomplete and auto correct are two different features. I leave both
on all the time and for the occassional instance where I want to undo
XL's helpfulness I use a workaround.

For autocorrect I have already shared the easiest way to defeat it.
For autocomplete, I use the same method Debra suggests.

Google is just another method of reading the Microsoft Newsgroups. I do not
use that method. I use Outlook Express. :)
