MS Word, Office 365, Auto-Correct Stopped Working for New Entries

I use Office 365, and in Word, I've created several auto-correct options for different letter combinations to expand into common words that I use.  For instance, I have qq set to expand to Defendant, etc., etc.  

This has been working fine until this morning.  When I opened a document that I had saved last night, and tried to use the different letter combinations, several of them did not work.  So I thought they had been un-added somehow, and redefined them in the Auto-Correct Options menu.  

Still, these particular entries are not expanding.  Strangely, some of the older existing entries are working, but when I redefine those, they stop working.  

Any ideas what could be causing this?  There are no exceptions that I can see (and it's the same problem even in new documents) and all the appropriate Auto-Correct options are checked.  

I'm about to reinstall and start over but hope someone can give some suggestions!
