Question: In Microsoft Excel 2003, when I type in the three letters ehr in any cell in any of my worksheets, or a new one, it automatically changes the letters to her. Why? How can I stop this?
Answer:Excel 2003 has auto correct features that attempt to make your life easier. Sometimes these auto correct features are not so helpful.
You can turn off this AutoCorrect, by doing the following:
Under the Tools menu, select Options.
When the Options window appears, click on the Spelling tab. Then click on the AutoCorrect Options button.
When the AutoCorrect window appears, uncheck the option called "Replace text as you type". Then click on the OK button.
Then click on the OK button on the Options window to close it.
Now when you type ehr in a cell, it should appear as ehr and NOT be auto corrected to her.
