Apostrophe ('s) changing to "without"

[Sebby]

I'm using Word 2007 that I've used on other computers and have never had this issue. Any time I type 's Word changes it to the word "without" after the apostrophe. For example, if I type someone's name, like Jake's, it changes to Jake'without. Same with it's (it'without), there's (there'without), etc. Any reason why this is happening, and maybe a solution to fix it? I can't have this happen and not catch it. Thanks!

It sounds like some wag has set up an autocorrect entry to make the change?

[Sebby]

This is my home PC and I'm the only one that uses it (the numerous keys with worn-off letters ensures that...ha!). I've only just installed it on this PC after my other died a week ago. I thought maybe it was somehow preset for that, but I've checked auto correct and it's not there. I actually can find nothing with an apostrophe in auto correct, as I've only been using this for a week and haven't added all my entries yet. I just don't understand it, and it's highly irritating.

After the change/replacement has occurred, which command is listed on the Undo drop down (on the Quick Access Toolbar)?

[Sebby]

It says Auto Format, then "typing s," and then the next line says Auto Correct. But for the life of me I cannot find anything in auto correct or auto format that pertains to this. However, I just created an auto correct entry making apostrophe-s "change" to apostrophe-s, so I think I've at least got a work-around. If someone can come up with an actual fix for it, though, I'd still like to know it. Thank you

Click a word that has been AutoCorrected and find out which language formatting Word has applied to it (for example, have a look at Review | Language | Set Proofing Language which indicates the language at the insertion point—or you can add the Language control to the status bar). Since AutoCorrecte entries are language-specific, this might give a clue.
