I assumed that the message was about a word-processing document. If so, if
you go to Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options there's a 'Word
Completion' tab that seems to give control over what word completion is
done.
I had wondered that but ruled it out, for various reasons:
o The default minimum word length is 10, so it is unlikely that entries as
short as some of the questioner's examples would be harvested.
My minimum word length is 8, I don't remember setting it to that.
Maybe hers was somehow set to a small value? Maybe unlikely.
o Only single word entries are harvested.
Good point.
o Complete suggestions are not provided: merely partial ones as far as they
are common.
I don't understand what you mean by this. Complete words are offered,
even rare ones if they've been harvested from the user's documents.
o The user would not be able to tab through suggestions, as s/he describes.
I assumed she (they) meant control-tabbing.
