Crystle, Thanks for your response.
I looked in the options in the spreadsheet program, and there is NO SUCH TAB; however, if I start an empty word processing document, tuh duh!, there it is (try it: it's not in the spreadsheet component)! I did indeed turn it off from within the option inside the word processing options tab; unfortunately, the problem remains in the spreadsheet program (it still tries to suggest an autocomplete that I don't want, and I'm required to press Delete everytime before I press Enter -- and this is all the more irritating since I need the single character response and NOT the autocomplete response 99%+ of the time!). I tried to get creative and change the activating key from within the autocomplete option in the word processing program, but it seems to have no effect on the spreadsheet (Enter still activates the autocomplete in the spreadsheet program even if it's turned off in the word processing option and even if I change the activating key to a space or right arrow). Alas! I even tried closing the program and restarting it after changing the options, and though the option in the word processing program continuously shows autocomplete is now off, it's still continuously ON in the spreadsheet and I can't change the activating key either! Too bad, since this would have solved my problem if it had worked. Suggestion: The autocomplete tab should also appear in the spreadsheet program, not just in the word processing component. Thanks for your suggestion, but it doesn't work in the spreadsheet component of Open Office, only within the word processing part! This is not only inconsistent but it's quite an irritating feature (it's certainly not a time saver for me!!!). Thanks for you most kind help though! Thanks again!
