However, every third time an inspector text function calculates, a pop-up window will appear. You must click OK on the pop-up window for inspector text to return its result. Every fifth of these pop-up windows (every 15th time an inspector text function calculates) will present you with a random text string that must be typed in before the OK button becomes enabled. The random text strings start out 3 characters long, and grow by 1 character with each string, up to 12 characters. If you cancel one of the pop-up windows that ask for a text string, the next calculation skips to the next pop-up window that asks for a text string. To start over at 3 characters, you must restart Excel. To avoid these pop-up windows, simply buy a paid edition.
