Hi Marcus,
It's called AutoCorrect. You can accept the suggestion either by pressing Enter (or possibly End, Space or Right-Arrow). AutoCorrect is very powerful. For example, it looks at words within your current document and uses them to make suggestions.
Go to Tools > AutoCorrect/AutoFormat
There you'll be able to fine-tune AutoCorrect. For example:
1) On the "Word Completion" tab, you can tell OOo which key you want to use to accept achange, and a few other options. For example, I set my OOo to suggest the word as a tool-tip.
2) On the "Replace" tab, you can add your own replace patterns. For example, suppose you write the world "internationalization" a lot. You can set OOo so that whe you write i18n, OOo automatically replaces it by "internationalization".
Cheers, Daniel.

When I am typing, Writer sometimes suggests words by showing them highlighted in blue. There are two things I would like to know:
1. What is this feature called? 2. How do I use it? (how do I insert the suggested word)
