You can turn it off
I find I am on Word for Mac 2004, which is the standard at Goldsmiths
and I have turned it off under TOOLS/AUTOCORRECT
Of course with every version they'll move it around and I know I am years
behind -- very happy to be: I know how this one works and can get my work
done; but I think you can turn it off
My suspicion is that the default is on
Hope that helps
