I have a 1.67 alum powerbook5,6 running os X.3.8.
using office 2004 (11.0) every time I type the letter "e" by itself in
word, entourage, excel; the software changes it to the letter "a".
does anyone else have this problem?
what can be done to fix?

thank you

In Word, say, choose Tools/Autocorrect. Delete the entry that replaces e
with a.

Close all Office apps. When you reopen, your problem should have gone
away.

Could anybody have put it in there as a joke? It's not there by default, as
I don't see it in mine.

By the way, if you are using Office 11.0, there are 11.1 and 11.1.1 updates
out there.

It's not, by default. Perhaps someone was playing a joke on you?

Or perhaps you hit AutoCorrect by mistake in a Spelling dialog?
