While in WORD, typing the word 'Route' in any document (even a new blank
file) will cause the Updating Table of Contents window to pop up, then the
program opens an unrelated document. It is the same document every time, a
24.5 MB file that contains a TOC. This problem started when I copied a
single page from the large document and then pasted that page into a new
blank document and started editing it. Since then, the word 'route'
initiates the sudden opening of the large file, thereby corrupting the
document I am working on.

What you are seeing could be an AutoText entry inserted by AutoComplete.
Click Insert | AutoText | AutoText. If there is an entry called "Route,"
delete it.

For more on AutoText, see
