Text suggestions in Word 2007

[georgep03]

What is the name of the option that suggests a word when you are typing (like
the days of the week) and allows you to hit enter to insert the word instead
of typing the whole word? And how do you turn it on and off?

You are referring to AutoComplete suggestions. In Word 2007 this feature
only works for dates (not for AutoText/Building Blocks), and the only way to
turn it on or off is via a macro.

To run the macro, do the following: Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual
Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate window. Type

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False

and press Enter. (If you want to turn on the setting, use True instead of
False.)

When you are done, close the Visual Basic Editor.
