For some reason, Word no longer suggests any Auto Complete suggestions. I can't remember going in to any options to change this feature. I know how to enter my name and such in Word's default list of Auto Complete defaults (ie ATTN:, Best Wishes etc.), but even though the check mark is selected to Show Auto Complete Suggestions, Word does not offer these suggestions to me.

How can I get this feature working again?

I just saw a message where someone mentioned this feature won't work if you're in "Overtype" mode (i.e. OVR is active in the status bar / You've pressed the Insert button on the keyboard). Could that be your problem?

Also, AutoComplete for AutoText entries does require that the names have a certain length , and begin with a unique set of characters. Could there be a conflict with that?
