In Microsoft, it's called autocomplete: it's how something you typed before is suggested when you type only a portion of it, especially in a spreadsheet cell and it's completed for you as suggested if you press enter. In Microsoft, this horrible feature, this work creators, can be turned off for those who do not find it useful.
I need to turn this off in Open Office. It frustrates me and creates problems when I get help I didn't seek! How do I turn off this damn feature? I need to enter a single letter code many times in a spreadsheet cell, but the multiple letter version which was only entered once in a single cell is suggested every time, and now I'm struck with needing to press delete on every entry to remove the autocomplete before I press Enter in the cell! This increases my workload, since the single letter is needed hundreds of times and I can't get rid of the autocomplete suggestion without pressing delete before Enter. Infuriating! I've turned off all the dictionaries, I've deleted all the autotype words, I've unchecked every possible box I can find (and this is a waste of my time). Nothing turns off this horrible feature (at least, if you con't want it!).
