    + sign changing to - in Excel 2000????

    Ok this is a weird one but I have a machine running XP Pro with Office 2000. When we use Excel 2000 and you are putting a formula in a cell like 2+2 it changes the + to a - sign.

    I have checked that there are no macros, I have checked the keyboard layout to make sure nothing has changed there. I even made sure the currency stuff and international stuff was correct. I can not seem to figure out what is causing this. It just started and it is very weird...

    Any help would be great.

    Does that only happens in Excel?

    My friend had a keyboard that could do the followings:

    1. "A" -> "a"
    2. "q" -> "q", but "Aq" -> "az"
    3. "h" -> "A"
    4. Some letters never come up unless you press another button first

    There are more I cannot remember. At the end of the day when he needs to type up an essay, there are tons of tricks you have to know!

    Seems like it is just Excel. I am thinking that I am going to uninstall Office and then reinstall to see if that gets rid of the problem. But I would like to know what is causing it.
