'9' changes to '7'

[Gary Creel]

Hello,

I have a user with an unusual problem. When he enters the number 9
into a cell in Excel 2000 and presses Enter the cursor moves to the
cell below and the number 9 changes to the number 7. He has
discovered a workaround, which is to enter the number 99, Enter,
return to the cell and backspace over the righthand 9 and leave a
single 9 in the cell. Excel then keeps the single digit 9.

Has anyone ever seen this or anything similar? We have run setup to
repair Excel and we have uninstalled/reinstalled.

Thanks in advance for any intput.

Tell your user to delete the autocorrect entry for 9 (Tools/AutoCorrect).

And then look around to see who is laughing at him, and then get even
