Help please - excel virus

[KevinEvans]

When running excel (and word). A cell will suddenly fill with a series of dots
and then random words like this:
...............he man place ther world

Does anyone recognise this?I've just installed Norton Pro and it hasn't found
any viruses. Surely though I have one. Can any one help?

Perhaps Speech Recognition is turned on. It might make text appear
automatically.

Choose Tools>Speech>Speech Recognition
(if it had a check mark, it was turned on)

Many thanks for your help - yes the problem was speech recognition
