I was entering stock symbols into excell.
I noticed that Excell changed my symbol "ACN" to "CAN"!
lucky I spotted it, because "CAN" is not a valid stock symbol.
Can anyone help me fix the cause of this error please?
and for helping me fix this problem, i will place you on my list for good
stocks.
ACN appears to be a reasonably good company.
If you help me fix this problem, and i'll share my points why i think this
stock is a good investment.
TIA
Cheers.

Tools>Autocorrect Options.

Find ACN and delete that from the list.

Note: this list is shared with other Office applications so you wn't have the
autocorrect which changes ACN to CAN

But don't bother with the stock tips, please.
