I set-up auto type; when I start this word; Molded -> it auto types Molded and Stamped.

I no longer want it to do this, but I can't figure-out how I did it. I'm not sure if it was in the a keyboard setting, or windows.

I'm not even sure what to call it. auto complete, auto type.?

thank you in advance.

best, mike

    Thank you Nicole,

    good suggestion , but not it.

    i have those settings in the Off position.

    It's not prediction or autocorrect. it's slightly different. it's totally custom. you could set it for; when I type xzp, it automatically types. " there's a monkey in the tree" totally custom..

    I set it years ago. possibly in an older version of windows, probably a different keyboard. so maybe the setting has been carried over.

    best, mike

    Hi again.

    Does this issue happens everywhere you type in Windows including the Browser URL bar or the search bar?

    I think the feature is called Autocomplete.

    Update me on this issue.

    Thank you.
