Whenever I wrote "Plone" followed by a return, it typed "Plone.recipe.zope2install", because that was present somewehere else in the 100 + page document. It drove me nuts.

Solution is to to go to Tools->AutoCorrect Options...->Word Completion. Once there you can either turn it off completely, or select another key than the return key for the autocompletion. I selected Tab.
