Do you have the option to "Automatically use suggestions from the spelling
checker" selected in the AutoCorrect dialog box? If so, try clearing the
option. (Since I don't use that option myself, I'm not sure if it can do
what you are describing, although it sounds like a possible culprit.)

It doesn't. The problem is not that a new entry is added to the
Autocorrect list. That problem is that the replacement occurs in all
instances simultaneously while I'm still running the Spell checking
tool. It happens in the background, so I don't notice it (although
sometimes there is a slight delay). Only later do I realize the
substitution occurred all over the document.
This is most unusual, I admit.
