It sounds as if you are definitely doing everything right, then, and I can
only guess that some add-in may be interfering with the proper operation of
AutoComplete. To test this, you could start Word in Office Safe Mode (press
Ctrl while starting Word) or by using the /a start-up switch (see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...peningWord.htm for instructions)
to test whether AutoComplete works correctly when Word is in Safe Mode.

Indeed Suzanne! The AutoComplete is to display its tip when you type
enough
letters, unfortunately my display does not indicate the tip on coming to
the
end of the word, consider "sincerely" the tip does not indicate even after
I
type "s-i-n-c-e-r-e-l" although merely one entry exists. It does not occur
for this word alone but for all words of the auto text entry data,
moreover,
the show tip box on the auto text tab is checked. Fotunately, the adjacent
feature "autoCorrect" does not have any problem. This particular
feature"AutoText" has developed this malfunction. Guidance and suggestions
are welcome and appreciated.

The AutoComplete tip displays when you have typed enough letters of the
entry name (minimum four) to uniquely identify the AutoText entry. If
two
entries begin with the same first four letters, you'll need to type five
or
more until you have typed a unique series.

I am using office 97 word and whenever I type words in the auto text
it
does
not pop up as tip such that I can press enter to have the word in the
document. I went to the tools, auto correct and in the auto text tab I
selected the show tip box and pressed enter, It still does not
indicate
the
tip when typing the words from this feature. Help on this subject will
be
greatly appreciated. I am using windows XP as my operating system, if
this
information will help in diagnosing the problem.
