.Another oddity - Now, every OTHER time I exit word, after trying this
feature, I get "Normal was being edited by another word session. If
you save this document with the original name, you will overwrite any
changes made in the other session. Do you want to save the documnent
using the original name anyway?" -- WHAT other session? When I click
No, I then get A SaveAs dialog, and when I click Cancel I'm left
inside Word with no document. Then I need to exit a 2nd time. THEN I
get "Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal.
Do you want to save those changes?"
Wow.
I made these changes to the Normal document in the ThisDocument
section: Private Sub Document_New
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
End Sub

Private Sub Document_Open()
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
End Sub

and in a module:
Sub Auto_Open()
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
End Sub
HELP!

Thanks - that's great for the current document, but I want it to
always be the case for ALL documents, new or old. How can I do this?

Press Alt+F11 and click on View | Immediate Window. Type the
following:

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True

and press Enter.

In Word 2003 I could type April, hit a space, then get a tool tip
or intellisense with the rest of the date, like April 10, 2009 and
pressing enter would enter it. Now, in Word 2007, on one computer
it still does it, but on another computer it doesn't. I've checked
ALL the settings (I believe) in Word Options in both computers and
they're identical. What accounts for the difference, and how can I
get this feature back?
