Default Issues with hyphens in Caption changing to em dash

I'm wondering if this could be caused by AutoFormat As You Type, but I have
never seen the problem myself.

Immediately after the hyphen has changed into a dash, if you look at the
Undo drop down, what command is listed there?

I am having a problem where my hyphens in my caption numbers are
changing to em dashes. Here's what I have set: in Caption dialog box,
under Options, Label is set to Figure, Position set to Below selected
item, Exclude label from caption is turned on; in Numbering, Format is
set to 1, 2, 3, Incluce chapter number is on, Chapter starts with
Heading 1, Use separator is set to hyphen.

Everytime I insert a caption, the caption displays in my document with
an em dash instead of a hyphen (so like 1(em dash)1. Caption Title
instead of 1-1. Caption Title (with a hyphen)). I am using Word 2007 and
this is happening to all of my documents that use captions. It is also
happening on some of my colleagues documents using Word 2007 and Word
2010.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
