    Word - Words changing (Possible custom dictionary?)

    Hi all,

    A bit of a random one. Just had a guy ring up at work, unfortunately he got me, the one in the office with the least 'Office' experience. Absolutely hate the MS Office package for unknown reasons. Anyway, he has logged into one of our machines (on an RM network) and has found that when he types 'and' and presses space it is changing it to say 'pants' all quite funny but now he's gettign a bit annoyed. Any ideas why?? I'm guessing a student has changed something somewhere and thought it could be a possible custom dictionary setting??

    Any help is appreciated.
