I think someone played a joke on me, because every time I type the word 'and', it automatically changes to 'You're being watched'. I know there is a way to create these "shortcuts"...does anyone know how I can change this?

Thanks.

does it only happen in Word or a particular program?
You're being watched OMG IT'S HAPPENING TO ME TOO!

that sounds interesting You're being watched i wonder if its happening to me

ok well i'm going to assume this is happening in Word.
Go to Tools > Macro > Macros and you should see a list of Macros there. Maybe you'll see on that that's labeled "OMG THIS IS A FUNNY PRANK" or whatever. just select it and hit Delete

Check the dictionary of whatever software you are using. For instance Word has a feature that auto corrects common misspellings. You can edit that list and replace any word with whatever you want to show up. For instance I have b/c automatically changed to because so I don't have to type as many characters. Someone could have edited that list and made and "auto correct" to You're being watched.

It happens in word and powerpoint (and outlook). I'm trying to mess with the Macros thing. I assume it would be under 'Word Commands', in the dropdown box?

...and excel, apparently, so all the Msft applications. The macros route doesn't seem to be working. The custom dictionary doesn't either...hmmm

look in your Start menu or the Add/Remove programs window to see if you see any programs that have recently been installed that you don't recognize

^ but it doesn't seem to be doing it in FireFox/IE? because you wrote "and" right there
