I type 4 and get 5

Hello,

My wife has an odd issue with her pc and it drives her insane, hence I am
insane. I cannot replicate this on any of our other pc's. She has
WindowsXp and Office Pro 2003. When she is in either word or excel and
types the number 4 the application changes the number to 5. Notepad doesn't
have this issue, so we initially thought spelling and grammar was the
culprit.

Does anyone have any ideas why this is occuring? I believe her pc to be up
to date with the latest service packs and windows updates. I just want to
play my video games in peace, so I need her pc working.

I suggest you post this question in a Word or Excel newsgroup, since you
suggest yourself that it is not related to Windows. When you do so you
should say if your wife uses the numerical keypad for her numbers or the key
above the letter "R".

I found the issue, it was in the auto correct replacement list. Sheese,
now, I can play again.

Thanks anyway.

Don't need to. The OP already posted that he knows what the problem is.

Did you pee your bed last night? Why are you all pissy? What you said was
kind of rude...and there was no need for it! You should apologize, because
you acted like a moron.

Fascinating. Consider this:
Pegasus said "In other words - a Word and an Excel issue . . ."
You said "What you said was kind of rude...and there was no need for it!"
Later you said "*YOU* can kiss my entire ass idiot. How's that Tom?"

I think Pegasus can learn a whole lot from you when it comes to expressing
himself politely. Your courtesy, word power and eloquence are to be admired.
P.S. Could you defined the word "rude" for me, please?
