Can I get auto-completion for words in Microsoft Word 2010?

Question

How can I start typing a word, and have Microsoft Word offer me suggestions so I don't need to finish typing? Is there an addon I can buy or download that would do this for me?

Answer 1

Auto Correct may be your best option. If there are several words your want completed, you can enter shortcuts or abbreviations (as long as the abbreviations are not real words), and Word will replace the abbreviation with the appropriate word.

Go to FILE, Options Proofing and scroll down to Auto Correct Options

Enter you8r abbreviations, press the TAB key and type the completed word.

Press your Enter key and then exit bu clicking OK.

The next time you type the abbreviation and press the space bar, your word will be completed.

Hope this helps.
