Default strange hyphenation

One more argument for not letting Word deal with hyphenation. I prefer to
turn auto hyphenation off and hyphenate words myself manually (by inserting
optional hyphens as required). I don't know what's causing this anomaly, but
I'll bug it.

I am having a rather strange problem with Word 2007. When the word "Christ"
comes at the end of a line, Word hyphenates it as "Chr-" on one line and
"ist" on the next. This makes no sense since monosyllabic words are never
hyphenated.

I've tried disabling the spelling, etc., that was recommended for others,
but it has no effect. Word does this in every document and with any/every
font. The only thing that works is to disable hyphenation for the entire
document, which is not really an option for me.

I have not found Word to hyphen any other single syllable words in this
way.
Being a minister and seminary professor, the name of my Savior comes at
the
end of a lot of lines. Does anyone know how to fix this?
