Word Completion for Text Documents

Office collects words that you frequently use in the current session. When you later type the first three letters of a collected word, Office 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 - AutoCorrect Options - Word Completion.

  2. Unmark Enable word completion.
