    Office Writer question

    In 18.04, Libre Office 6.0.7.3:

    I swear I have looked at everything but can't find it. This:

    Let's say I type the word "start," like this:

    start

    LO Writer keeps giving me an autocomplete option, like this:

    start starting

    where the word-option "starting" is in write letters on black field, right?

    If I hit the Return key, I get that option, which I don't want. Etc. I think you see the issue.

    How -- in the world -- in this world, planet Earth -- do I turn that option OFF?

    Maybe:
    To eliminate Autocomplete in LO Writer, it's: Tools>AutoCorrect>AutoCorrect Options>Word Completion>Uncheck "Enable Word Completion">Hit Okay.

      I have Version: 6.4.7.2 and it does not do this. Maybe an upgrade will fix it? Oh I have "Enable Word Completion" turned on.

        Snowhog, OMG, that's it. Many thanks. (I won't go on about how/why I missed it ... that would only make me look 'more stupider.' I did practice that Tools > sequence 3x, though, to fix it into my head.) Thanks, again

          Happy to utilize my Google foo for the benefit of others.

            Google foo? I resemble that remark!

              Snowhog, I even forgot/didn't think of Google, although I use it all day long. First time my brain failed to see the menus right, and I missed it. Hell with autocomplete on! I'm studying Korean grammar, re-writing a text to suit my mathematical brain, and the last thing I needed was for all those cryptic autocompletes! Text like this, typical, from a lesson:

              그렇다 "like that" ( 그 "that” something in previous sentence)
              adjective: 그런 (adding ~ㄴ/은 to the stem of 그렇다): “that sort of/that kind of/that type of”
              저는 그런 사람을 믿지 않아요 = I don’t trust that type of person/those types of people
              저는 그런 것을 좋아하지 않아요 = I don’t like that type of thing
              adverb: 그렇게 (adding ~게 to the stem of 그렇다): “like that”
              저는 그렇게 생각하지 않아요 = I don’t think like that
              Freedom!
