All that usually means is that you have entered a number value, and the column width is too small for Excel to display it.\nIncrease the column width and the spreadsheet will display your numerical value properly.

It is the "underline" character.  On most keyboards, its located directly to the right of the zero ("0") key.  If you press it, you get a dash ( "-" ).  If you hold the shift key and press it, you get an underscore ( "_" ).\n\nIn most document processing software (Word, WordPerfect, etc), you can hit CTRL-U to toggle underscoring.  Hit CTRL-U once, and everything you type will be underscored, or underlined.  Hit CTRL-U again, and this stops.

Don't really understand why, but you could try changing your password to an English one, just to try and isolate the problem and see if it is to do with the Alt+Shift part.

You are using a character on your keyboard that the login does not recognize or does not allow. Do not use dashes or any symbols that might be causing this.

Go onto your control panel and into 'regional and language options' ensure that the standard is set to your correct country (american keyboards have the @ where our " is... and if you notice... have NO POUND SIGN!)\n\nthat should set your keyboard back to normal.

If someone is a poor typer, switch the M and N keys on the keyboard and watch them flip out!  (Assuming, of course, that you work in an office environment.)

The symbol _ is called the underscore. You can type it by the combination Shift and - key.

I do this, too.  It's usually when I need to type a word that starts out somewhat similar to another word that I use all the time.  I work with computers, so for instance, I may need to type 'common' but my fingers just blurt out 'command' all on their own.  It's quite frustrating, especially when I don't catch the error and neither does spell check.  I'll read back through my already sent message and go, "D'oh!".

When pasting, try use Edit | Paste Special | Paste as: \nUnformatted text.\nI think yahoo change some formatting recently which caused "regular" copying to crash word.  I think this should work for you.

Check to see you have the right language installed for intance when i loaded up my pc i had the US version of english for my keyboard instead of the british English. It caused different characters to be displayed for instance instead of @ i got " and vise versa when pessing those particular keys. good luck

next to the 0(zero key)is the hyphen-   push the hyphen key and shift at the same time.\n\nso instead of -, you will get _.\n\nYAY!

In a blank column use the function =LOWER(whatever cell) and the text will appear in all lower case. Then copy the lower case column on top of the original column and do a Paste Special and paste "values" and your original column will now be lower case. There are also functions for =UPPER() all upper case and =PROPER() which returns first letter capitalized and the rest lower case.
