characters automatically converted to arabic fonts

Hi All.
I am trying to input some information for some of my clients in an Excel
Sheet. However in one column i have to type data in the following format :
A5/69.
When i type it , the characters are to converted to some arabic-like fonts.
Is there any settings which i must adjust to prevent this.

Thks in anticipation.
