autotext

This is not something I set up and I need to know how to turn it off!
BTW: I haven't turned on autotext either, so I'm always surprised by
it... I type something with a g/ and Greetings, Bill (Gates?)
follows. Is this what they call an Easter Egg?

How do I stop that? I can work around it, but I want to stop it dead
in its tracks.

TIA

Check under Insert, AutoText, Autotext, AutoText and AutoCorrect tabs for
these options.
Hope this helps

Thanks, I looked in both autocorrect and autotext but it's not there.
Any other ideas?

Do you have a programmable keyboard? Perhaps that has somehow become set
with an unwanted entry?

It certainly isn't an Easter Egg. Does this still happen if you start in
Safe Mode? From Start, Run, type in

winword /a

and press enter. Test it now. If it stops, then it pretty much points to an
incompatible add-in. Let us know the result please.
