Minor issue with Open Office

[semi-pro waster]

Hi, I don't normally come into this area of the forums but I started using Open Office a little while back and it seems great so far except for one minor niggle - it insists on randomly trying to 'autocomplete' words so if I type "d" for instance it immediately displays "december" unless I keep typing.

I've had a quick look through the menus and can't see anything obvious as I've turned most of the writing aids off so I was wondering if anyone else had a clue how to stop this from happening. Thanks in advance.

//edit ignore me I was being dumb and after a further play around under "Autocorrect" options I get to switch it off.

Is this what you want? It does not happen on mine even with it turned on.

Switching off the word completion
1.Choose Tools - AutoCorrect - Word Completion .
2.Clear Enable word completion .

Cheers very much for the reply, I literally twigged about a couple of minutes before you posted but thanks for the help anyway.
