Word 2002. If I type the start of an auto text entry, the auto complete
suggestion is not appearing as it used to, so that all I need to do is hit
the enter key. I am able to manually insert an auto text.
For some reason this function is not working anymore.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Annie,

ToolsAutoCorrect OptionsAutoTextShow Autocomplete Suggestions must be
checked.

Your AutoText entry must have four or more unique characters to distinquish
it from other entries.

Thanks for your response Greg but ...
Show Autocomplete Suggestions is checked and all entries have 4 or more

NO auto text entries work.

Annie,

Well that is the common problems. A few other fringe possibiliteis would be
to try showing and then hiding the Document map. That seems to correct some
screen tip displays.

Jay Freedman posted the following as a response to a similiar question a
while back:

On the chance that the check box in the dialog doesn't correspond to
the setting stored in the registry, try this: open the VBA editor
(Alt+F8), display the Immediate window (Ctrl+G), paste this line into
it and press Enter:


Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True


One more thing you can try is deleting the Data key in the registry.
See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...eySettings.htm
and http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErr...ngMenusEtc.htm for
information and procedures.

This might also depend on having ScreenTips displayed (Tools | Options |
View).
