I think this is what you meant... I usually turn it off because it gets in the way when entering text in spreadsheets. >From the OpenOffice.org built-in help: Word Completion for Text Documents OpenOffice.org collects words that you frequently use in the current session. When you later type the first three letters of a collected word, OpenOffice.org automatically completes the word. If there is more than one word in the AutoCorrect memory that matches the three letters that you type, press Ctrl+Tab to cycle through the available words. To cycle in the opposite direction, press Ctrl+Shift+Tab. To Accept/Reject a Word Completion By default, you accept the word completion by pressing the Enter key. To reject the word completion, continue typing with any other key. To Switch off the Word Completion 1. Choose Tools - AutoCorrect Options - Word Completion. 2. Clear Enable word completion . -Mark C. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list clug-talk@clug.ca http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
