Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.
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. |

Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.
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. -- Suzanne S.

Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.
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.

Where is the equivalent of AutoText in Word 2007? I cannot find it.

AutoComplete was removed from Word 2007 (for technical reasons), but you can
still type the first four (or more) letters of the entry name and press F3. -- Suzanne S.

Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.
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. -- Suzanne S.

Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.
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.

Auto complete tip of the auto text does not show up.
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. -- Suzanne S.

The idea you jotted is precisely what I have executed, to use both words containing "sincerely"You must rename the in the manner you have indicated, earlier the program never displayed any tips, I was perplexed for that reason but starting word in the safe mode solved that hassle.
