Let's make it clear.
a. In a cell you type: 1. The result is adel (if I understand you correctly).
b. Assuming this was cell A2, you type =A2 in cell B2. What's the result?
c. In a cell you type =1. What't the result?
d. In a cell you type =1+1. What's the result?
e. In a cell you type =1/2. What's the result?
In all these cases 1 is number.
f. In a cell you type 111. What's the result?
Now it's not a number, now it's a digit.
g. In a cell you type A1. What's the result?
Now it's not a number, nor a digit, now it's a character.
Now for the big experiment. Make a new Windows user account and try there. Any difference?

I have been using microsoft excel 2003 for 7 years and never had a problem with it, but recently it has developed one weird glitch. Every time i try to use the number 1 it changes it to the word adel and i cant figure out why, nor can i make it stop any suggestions?
