Excel suddenly generating gobbledigook nonsense!

I was just working on some accounts when suddenly one of the Excel
cells started filling up with gobbledigook!
Kind of semi-random words that almost make meaningful sentences but do
not. In English.
I have never used or installed a random text generator.

Could this be a virus/trojan, general cyber-bugger? I've searched and
cannot find any other similar reports.

Any ideas would be welcome. In the meantime I've booted into safe-
mode and running Spybot S&D, just in case.
 
BTW, I disconnected from the internet and it continued to ramble
garbage into my spreadsheet.
 
Any chance you turned on Speech Recognition?
