Office 2007 programs excel and word text starts typing by itself

[mickeyd]

This is really weird, I didn't believe it at first until I saw it myself.
Our IT trainer was upgraded to Office 2007 and she told me that sometimes
when she is in working on an Excel spreadsheet or Word document, text just
starts typing in by itself! I asked her to let me know the next time it
happened and witnessed it today. It actually looked like half of a telephone
conversation. I looked into the event viewer to make sure someone wasn't
using remote control or SMS to mess with her and found no indication. She
doesn't have a Mic and is on XP so no voice recogition software is running.
Any suggestions on tracking this one down? The next time it happens I told
her to unplug her ethernet cable to discern if it originates from outside her
PC.

Help... I am experiencing the same problem with excel 2007. I am
working on an excel spreadsheet and the particular cell where I am
trying to work on starts typing by itself. We think it's on an auto open
macro but we can't remove it.
