Word is splitting a word in half

[Guest]

One of my co-workers has a unique problem. When she types the word maintain
near the end of a sentence, Word splits it into two separate words of 'main'
at the end of the sentence then continues on the next line with 'tain'. There
is no hyphen, Why is Word doing this?

This usually results from either font corruption (rare) or document
corruption; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/CorruptDoc.htm

Or perhaps from a rogue AutoCorrect (although that would happen everywhere,
not just towards the end of a sentence)

Look in Tools > AutoCorrect to see if there's an entry for "maintain".

I'll check that out, I did notice she was using a odd font.
