Maybe it's just FrameMaker being a bit more human. I have a few words that I can't abide. Such as 'deal' ;-)

To be sensible for a moment (why?), is there any possibility that your source document has been compiled from some cut and paste operation that has resulted in each instance of the problem word containing, say, hidden characters?

I ask because whenever I work on a document with a lot of repetition, I use a text expander instead of endlessly typing, say, antidisestablishmentarianism or whatever, and if the source word in the expander somehow has cruft in it, you get that cruft in every instance of the word. I have also programmed the expander with my all favorite typos: maybe your author got sick of typing 'hieght' and then correcting it?

Just a thought... Other than that, maybe try a reinstall of FrameMaker? But odds on it's a problem with the document rather than with the app.
