Yup, "Auto Format as You Type" was set to Bold anything between asteriks.
Since I was typing "bolded" anyway I did not notice the change, just the *
disappearing. I've turned it off. If I want bold I'll Ctrl-B.

Todd,
I think you need to check Tools\AutoCorrect in MS Word for * disappearing.
It would drive me creasy when I typed 1/2 and it became ½.
