How do I turn off predictive text

J

I have just upgraded to Office 2007 (running on XP). In all my previous
versions of Office I have been able to turn off predictive text, particularly
in Word and Outlook but so far cannot find a way of doing this in the latest
version. I am being driven crazy being told by the program what it thinks I
want to type! Can anyone help me please?

If you are trying to turn off AutoCorrect, you can do that in the
AutoCorrect dialog box: Click the Office button, and then click Word
Options. In the Proofing category, click the AutoCorrect Options button. On
the AutoCorrect tab, clear the "Replace as you type" option, and click OK
twice.

On the other hand, if you are referring to the AutoComplete suggestion,
which is only supported for dates in Word 2007, you will have to use a macro
to turn it off. Press Alt+F11 to show the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G
to activate the Immediate window. Type

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False

and press Enter.
