How do you change the automatic prompting of a word or phrase in Microsoft
Word? Example: I start to type "American Mechanical" and when I have partial
typed "Amer" Word prompts me with "American Residential". How do I change
that?

1. Delete the AutoText entry for "American Residential" (or reinsert it with
a different name) OR

2. Clear the check box for "Show AutoComplete suggestions" in the Insert |
AutoText | AutoText dialog OR

3. Ignore the prompt and keep typing (or press ESC) Or

4. Define an AutoText entry for "American Mechanical" and give it a
different name.
