Default word substitution

When ever I type the word 'Get' it immeadiatly changes to 'Sara'. My niece's
name is Sara and she has been on the computer. This only happens in Word not
notepad or wordpad. I have deleted the custom dictionary. If I type 'Gets' or
'get' I do not have the problem. If I type 'get' at the beginning of a
sentance it gets changed to 'Get' and that does not get changed. This is
actually my mother in laws PC and there are no macros and it is a pretty
basic setup.
I am completly stumped.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Steve

Go to Tools, AutoCorrect Options. I have a good idea you will find the
solution there.
