If you have both "Sincerely" and "Sincerely yours" as AutoText entries, then
you will definitely have to give one of them a different name (for example,
you could use "syours" for "Sincerely yours") if you want to be able to use
AutoComplete for them.

Thank you suzzane it is now functioning perfectly alright! I did start in
the safe mode and it appears to show the tip there! Later I tried the same
in
the normal mode and the tip began to display. Moreover, I found a solution
for the words that have common name in the auto text menu. You name the
auto
text menu for the first four words,eg, "sincerely yours" and sincerely are
two words that are found in my auto text menu, I named the second
"sincerely"
as "since" and after I type "since" the tip "sincerely" display;
thereafter
if "r" or "re" is typed then "Sincerely yours" is displayed. Thank you for
showing me to start word in the safe mode! I read the entire help section
of
this word but unfortunately, I never encountered how to start in a safe
mode
for word. Thank you once again for the information.
Regards,
Alexander.

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.
