Writer Guide

Using word completion
If Word Completion is enabled, Writer tries to guess which word you
are typing and offers to complete this word for you. To accept the
suggestion, press Enter. Otherwise, continue typing.
To turn off Word Completion, select Tools > AutoCorrect Options >
Word Completion and deselect Enable word completion.
You can customize word completion from the Word Completion tab.
• Add (append) a space automatically after an accepted word.
• Show the suggested word as a tip (hovering over the word) rather
than completing the text as you type.
• Collect words when working on a document, and then either save
them for later use in other documents or select the option to
remove them from the list when closing the document.
• Change the maximum number of words remembered for word
completion and the length of the smallest words to be
remembered.
• Delete specific entries from the word completion list.
• Change the key that accepts a suggested entry—the options are
right arrow, End key, Enter (Return), Space bar, and Tab.
