Yep, Word does that, you can just add it to your autocorrect exception list. (Tools -> Auto Correct Options -> Execptions button -> Don't Correct tab).
Forums is also an acceptable plural of forum which is why I would guess it was there.
I would imagine that people mistype 'for a' more than they ever use the word 'fora' and that is why Word autocorrects. Since forums is an acceptable plural it makes sense to me.
This isn't the only proper word that Word will sometimes autocorrect either. I don't see it as that big of a deal. It is designed for the masses, not the specialist. You can't always have both, especially when dealing with a language like English.

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
