Do you have Adobe Acrobat 7? If so, see the last bit of

You are absolutely correct! I just assumed it was the PPT, but I had also
recently upgraded to Acrobat 7, and that was it. I don't understand why
Adobe would write their software to override a basic Word function and not
give you an option to turn it off easily.
Thank you.

Because they are Adobe! Read the whole page for a long history of messing
with Word in stupid ways.
