how do i get predictive text in microsoft word? so that if i enter 'shak' and
then press enter, i get the word 'shakespeare'? so that you dont have to keep
entering the long word if you are doing an assignment on it?
 
There is no such thing as predictive text in Word, though you can assign
commonly used words to shortcuts in the form of autocorrect entries. Type in
your word eg Shakespeare then select it and then tools > autocorrect
options. Type a shortcut - preferably one that is unlikely to conflict with
required text eg #sh and use #sh to enter the word in full. You can even
apply formatting and add graphics etc using this method.

If you want something more sophisticated that will work in all applications,
consider GhostTyper # http://www.ghosttyper.com/

Goto Tools.... Autocorrect

Select Autotext tab and add any extra words you want to this list...
