Steven, Typing into a cell, I was modifying an old document. I didn't note wether it was text or figures, it happened quite a few times over the last two days so I am sure it was probably both , it could have been either. After cancelling about three times each time it appeared it would go away. However in the end it wouldn't stay away and it was not possible to work on it or save it. I got out of the problem in the end by forcing a computer shutdown and then re-opening via recovery. Although I would still like to know why.Regards,Alan.
