How to Use AutoComplete in Word

1. Start Microsoft Word and open an existing file or start a new blank document.
2. Type within your Word document, being sure to watch the screen for a yellow box that will appear above your typing. AutoComplete will try to finish any common words, including your name, the current date, day, month, year and any other AutoText entries that you have established.
3. Spot the yellow box that appears while you are in the middle of typing a word. Press the 'Enter' key on your keyboard to enter the word that is suggested by the Word AutoComplete tool. If Word suggests a word that you are not typing, then simply ignore the suggestion. It will go away after you have finished typing the word.
4. Repeat this process to enter any other additional AutoComplete selections into your document.
