word corrections

I have a user who just discovered typing the word pam followed by a space
will immediately get changed to Embarrassment. What the heck is going on? I
unchecked the custom dictionary in WORD thinking someone plugged that in. No
difference. I have to assume he downloaded something and clicked it to
change a config of sorts. Any idea on how to stop this?

thanks!

Maybe it's an AutoCorrect entry, created either by an errant click on
the right-click menu of a misspelling or by some (half)wit playing a
joke. See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...utoCorrect.htm.
