Thank you, Brian. That's exactly what it was.  Since I have never knowingly used Track Changes and 
it never affected the top half of my data, it must have turned itself on. Now, I know that is not a 
reasonable supposition so I have investigated to try to understand what I did.

I was working automatically, almost on autopilot, using a series of keyboard shortcuts - Ctrl-C, 
Ctrl-V, Ctrl-X, Shift-Ctrl-V, Shift-Ctrl-Alt-V, arrow keys, Enter ...  etc. I must have 
accidentally hit an unwanted key.

Searching in Tools | Customize | Keyboard for existing shortcuts revealed under Category | Edit, a 
shortcut for Record Shift-Ctrl-C.  That is what I must have hit once and only once because it acts 
as an on-off toggle and the second time produces a dialogue box which gives the game away.

Thanks again, Brian. My knowledge has been increased and I'll know better next time.

Philip
