And ISTR that AutoComplete doesn't fire if the first character (or maybe any
of the characters) is a symbol (that is, anything not alphanumeric)--seems like it was the pipe character ( | ) that caused a problem. -- Suzanne S.

"CyberTaz" wrote in message ... Hi Sue- Go to ToolsAutocorrect Options & on the Autotext page make sure you have a check in the box for 'Show Autocomplete suggestions'. Also, an Autotext entry _must_ be unique in order for Autocomplete to pick it up, i.e. one which is a list of cities named 'companycities' & another a list of employees named 'companypersonnel'. The autocomplete tip will not appear until you have typed in 'companyc' or 'companyp', just 'company' will not cause the tip to appear. Autocomplete will also not work if one of the first 4 characters is a 'space', if I remember correctly. HTH |:) "Sue" wrote: They are more than four letters long in name, still don't work.

I have created three autotext, they all appear in the Normal, only on one of them does the autocomplete work. I did check to make sure that the autocomplete was checked appropriately to be active. My one autotext is a text box with a graphic inside in, the other has typed text with a fill-in box, could this cause an issue??Thanks. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?
