[Solved] How to turn off suggestions as you type?

Post by MarnelKelis »

I'm still new to program and am still getting used to it - can't even seem to easily find the settings.

As I'm typing there are suggestions of words to use (usually based on me using that word earlier in document) and it's quite distracting. Not entirely sure what it's called either so hard to search for.

Any help appreciated!

/Tools /Autocorrect options : Word completion tab, uncheck "Enable Word Completion".

Or /Format /Autocorrect and uncheck "while typing".
