I am trying to enter WYA into a cell in Excel2003

As I enter it, I can clearly see the letters WYA being inserted into the cell

When I press enter, the Cell changes to WAY

I have tried this on 3 different computers - each of them on a different
version of Excel

What is happening ?

The autocorrect option is set... to change:

Tools-gt;Options-gt;'Spelling' Tab-gt;Click quot;AutoCorrect Optionsquot;...

Then, find quot;WYAquot; in the Replace column, and delete it.

It's called Auto Correct and is available via the Tools menu.

The quot;replace text as you typequot; option has a list of commonly typed mistakes
which you can edit.
Thanks Guys
