    Specific Text Converted - JL to JELL

    Hi All,

    Here is a strange one for you. This has been happening for many months now, across many workbooks, including ones that are created from scratch. I am required to enter the production date in a field in excel precisely as it is written on a product. In cases where I have to type JL for July, as soon as i hit the space bar to write the day, the JL changes to JELL.

    So

    I type 2016 JL and then hit the space bar and it turns into 2016 JELL

    Thoughts? Ideas

    Thanks!

    Les

    Have a look in File > Option > Proofing and click on the AutoCorrect Options. You probably have something in there which changes JL to JELL - just delete it if you don't need it.

    No problem. Sometimes a problem just needs a fresh pair of eyes
