(using OO.o v2.0 on XP+SP2)

There are some (or all) sort(s) of automatic completion
that I'd like to be able either to control or turn off completely.

By way of preface, this is *not* an issue of filespec completion
when selecting a file to open or close.

The following may just be different facets of the same thing,
or may be two different things altogether
If there are multiple ways to complete something --
some, somebody, something, somnolent --
it seems always to choose the longest alternative.
  (Sometimes it seems like it picks the most unlikely ;-),
   but that's probably just a misperception.)
How can I get it to start with the *shortest* possible ending?

Over time, I enter some words that are like other words,
but different in some way -- say, pluralist when there is already
pluralism and pluralize.  After that, depending on various factors,
some of those words are used as likely completions
rather than the words that are in the normal list.
I guess my question here is:  Is there a way to prevent Writer
from automatically adding words to its list of possibilities?
If I really need them, I know how to add them from Tools->(...).
I think.

Actually, maybe I don't.
I can find the table of *replacements* for the autocorrect feature,
but nothing for the automatic word completion feature.
