I am entering this statement into a cell: "6F 2.0 MM A-TYPE DOME", of course without the quotes. What I get after I've entered that is:"6F 2.0 MM D-TYPE DOME6F 2.0MM D-TYPE DOME"
I've tried just typing in the word DOME or any other, it repeats the word 10 times in that cell.
Thanks

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
What is the format of the cell? It could have a custom format applied. I think what you would want for that would be either "General" or "Text" format.

The format for that cell is General. I tried Text but that didn't change anything.

Do you have any macros in the workbook?

Other than a Worksheet_Change macro or formatting, I can't think of anything else at the moment that would possibly cause this :confused:

I have this in some really old 123 spreadsheets and can get rid of them by doing the following:

I have Excel 2000.
I have noticed when I move the margin in just a little bit, that gets rid of the problem for that cell, but for a cell further down on the sheet, it cuts off a letter.
So I still have the problem.

All else fails create a new spreadsheet by copying values and formulas only. then format the cells accordingly.
