Default word automatically inserts *

Word 2007 was installed on a new laptop I have and it automatically inserts
an * when I type certain combinations of letters. It is always after a pair
of letters involving an "a" (eg au*to, sa*id, sma*sh, ac*re) and if I type
slowly it doesn't happen.
Can anyone tell me why and how I turn it off?
Thanks

Default word automatically inserts *

Sensitive keys that you touch by mistake when typing?

If that's not it, look at the AutoCorrect tab of the AutoCorrect dialog box
and see if you see entries that shouldn't be there.

To display the dialog box, click the Office button, and then click Word
Options; in the Proofing category, click AutoCorrect Options.
