Re: [users] spurious words for autocompletion
Hi, Kenn Goutal wrote: I keep having things added to my autocompletion (?) list in any given document, that shouldn't be there.

AutoComplete indeed is the name for the automatic completion of file names in the Open File dialog, etc. What you might mean is the Word Completion that you can set in Tools - AutoCorrect - Word Completion. This collects long words and offers them when you start to write such a word again. Or do you mean the automatic replacement of a word by another word, like when you type 'teh' this is automatically changed to 'the'? This list can be found at Tools - AutoCorrect - Replacement, and you can switch it on and off on the Options tab page. May be the help pages for these dialogs can help with your question.

[users] spurious words for autocompletion
I keep having things added to my autocompletion (?) list in any given document, that shouldn't be there. For example, in one document, I type: sur and it autocompletes as surveysSurvey I understand that at some point I must have (erroneously) typed that into the document. But how do I get rid of it? I've looked under Tools-Options-Language Settings-Writing Aids, and under Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org Writer Formatting Aids, but haven't found the answer there. It seems to come and go, so it is not reproducible. What usually happens is that I open a completely new document, or perhaps open an old document and save it as a new one and continue editing, and am very surprised when Writer starts autocompleting things completely out of context. One possibile scenario is that I have open one document and then, while the first document is still open, open a second document; the second document seems to inherit the autocompletion (?) list from the first. The Help text for AutoComplete seemed to refer only to autocompletion in dialogs. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If so, you can select the item in that window and delete it. There are other settings there that may also be useful. I trust this helps.
