If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it (but don't disable Norton
AutoProtect). See
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How
to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in"
for more information.
If that's not it, then maybe there's another add-in at work that
isn't completely compatible with Word 2007. Try working through
the troubleshooting steps at

.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?

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?
