I appear to have set the forward slash ket (/) so that it does not appear in
the selected cell but initiates numbers to items on the toolbars.
If I do a sequence of keys with the forward slash in the sequence then it
types OK
 
The default for forward slash in excel is a quick access to your menu items.
Check your Tools-->Options, Transition tab if you want that to be a different
character. Or you can leave it blank and it will type as normal. Or, if you
are entering text data into a cell that starts with a /, you can enter a
single quote ' first, and then the slash.

Hope this helps.
 
You can prefix your entry with an apostrophe: '/whatever goes here

Or you can turn off a Transition setting.

In xl2003 menus:
tools|Options|transition tab|
remove the / character from "Microsoft Office Excel menu key:" box
