Mac Forum / Applications / Word / May 2008Making Annoying Name Pop-Ups Vanish
PowerBook G4 Sys 10.5.2 Office 2008 This has been happening since Word 2004. When I type certain names into a Word document a little window opens with a full name. I'm assuming this is something Word finds in my Entourage contacts. (I use Entourage for mail). Example from real life: I typed Josh, and the little window popped up with Josh Cowan -- which was not the right Josh, and I didn't want it. In fact I want to kill this altogether but so far haven't found the way... it must bea simple tweak... or I hope it is. Can someone tell me? TIA  SignatureEvery director bites the hand that lays the golden egg. ‹ Samuel Goldwyn An actual *window*, or does a little yellow pop-up (similar to the screen tips that tell you what an icon is for) describe it better? Anyhow, Tools | AutoCorrect | AutoText. The yellow pop-ups say "You have just typed the first four letters of an AutoText. Do you want to hit enter to insert that AutoText?" You can either turn off the yellow pop-ups entirely (AutoComplete Tips), or just check the box to "exclude contacts". > PowerBook G4 > Sys 10.5.2 [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > TIA > An actual *window*, or does a little yellow pop-up (similar to the > screen tips that tell you what an icon is for) describe it better?

Incidentally, if you let AutoText insert the name, it is a Smart Tag, which is a sort of field, and then you can right-click and do things like "include address and phone number." Which I'm sure is *really* helpful to a lot of people, but I personally have never used. Every so often I get emailed copies of student papers that show {6982380} instead of their name, because they used this feature and then the field breaks when they send it to another computer. |
