Macro is removing repeated characters from a cell

Hello all, I have a macro that is sending commands to an open window.

If the cell contains a repeated character, it ignores all but the first character.

For example: add becomes ad.

If I change the cell to something that does not have repeated characters, it sends normally.

Any thoughts?

[edit]
Additional examples:
00 becomes 0. (This is an extreme problem!!!!)
... becomes .
