Default Words are being duplicated in text boxes

I am running into an odd issue. I have a presentation that has 9 slides. Each slide has several text boxes. On three separate computers (Windows 8.1/Office 2010 on two of them and Windows 8.1/Office 2013 on one), the text in these boxes repeat the first two words of every sentence. On a fourth computer, it looks fine (Win 7 Pro/Office 2013).

Example text problem:

Working with management, they have implemented multiple changes to the Bridge programs and its promotion for the betterment of participating members. No Board No Board review will be necessary. Their work Their work is done except for succession planning.

In the example above the second and third sentences have duplicated words. This occurs through out the document. The only difference between the three computers that are affected and the one that looks fine is the operating system.

Any ideas?

PS: I can go onto the affected computers, edit out the extra words, save, close and reopen the presentation, and the duplicated words are back.

I suspect voodoo and/or gremlins.
