I have a user with MS Word 2000 on Windows XP service pack 2. She has a word thats mispelled and the system keeps ignoring it. I checked the user dictionary to see if the word was added and it has not been. Is it possible this typo somehow ended up in the master dictionary?

In Word 2000, one can access the Dictionary from the Options menu. This is usually under Tools, but can be relocated at user preference. Click Options > Spelling & Grammar > Dictionaries > Edit.

In addition, check AutoCorrect for erroneous entries. One can uncheck a box on the AutoCorrect menu to disable the AutoCorrect feature.
