Answer 1

Auto-complete in Microsoft Word

Fancy saving a few keystrokes on a regular basis? Here’s how Word can help you!

Lots of us spend ages typing the same old thing into Word on a daily basis – your name, address, phone number – all kinds of things. Did you know you can use Word’s auto-complete function to save you lots of time when it comes to these repetitive tasks?

Here’s how to do it:

Let’s say you want to set up a short-cut to your name and phone number.

Open Word and click on

In the smaller of the input boxes, type a “/” followed by your initials (I’d be using “/” followed by “dd”)

Press

Now type in your full name, as you want it to appear – in my case, I want “David Dorn, Editor, Practical PC “ so that’s what I type.

Now click on the button

That’s it. Any time you type your “/dd” or whatever, Word will automatically insert your name for you as you type – as soon as you press the spacebar after the short-cut string. You can set up any number of strings like this – it’s a real time saver

well, if u type some COMMOn stuff like thank you or today's date, the Auto Complete (AC) does this:
1. i type thank (i wanna type thank you)
2. AC gives me a message that says 'thank you' ie a suggested entry
3. i press [Enter] and viola! 'thank you' is typed

that's the basic of Auto Complete. u can also add custom entries
