Default strange hyphenation

This is a really long shot, but bear with me. I posted the problem in our
private Word MVP NG to see if anyone could reproduce the error. So far no
one reports being able to, but one MVP suggested it might be an AutoCorrect
issue.

Now, without even trying to imagine how such an AutoCorrect entry might have
been created in your copy of Word, I find that it is possible to create a
formatted AutoCorrect entry to replace "Christ" with "Chr¬ist." So could you
please check and see if by any very remote chance there is such an
AutoCorrect entry? If so, you can delete it, and that would solve the
problem.

If not, we're back to square one.

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?
