I made a typo with a job title. Every time I go to edit it it adds the
edited job title as an additional job title. Unfortunately the typo was at
the end of the job title so now I am not sure which "nominating committee
chairman" I am choosing until I actually see it on the document. Any help
would be greatly apreciated!!

Was this an AutoText entry? Instead of creating a new entry, you should have
saved the revised entry with the same name as the previous one, then
answered "yes" when Word asked if you wanted to overwrite the entry. I
suspect, however, that instead of giving your entry a short name, you
accepted the text of the entry as its name. The solution is to open the
AutoText dialog (Insert | AutoText | AutoText), delete both entries, and
start from scratch.
