disable predictive text in Word?

Question

I started getting these annoying text suggestions, I think after a recent windows 10 update (red circle below). It constantly obscures what I'm trying to type. Does anyone know how to disable this? THanks!I am using Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016 in a Surface Pro 3

Answer 1

This is a setting of the operating system. In Windows 10 Settings, turn off "Show text suggestions as I type." (The details may depend on the exact version of Windows 10 you are running, but you can always search the Settings app for "text suggestions.")

Hi JJFFN,

1. Go to Settings – swipe from the right of the screen or click upper-right corner of the screen.
2. Tap Change PC settings
3. Tap PC and devices
4. Tap Typing
5. Under Show text typing suggestions as I type, change the setting to OFF.

You can also turn off Spelling Autocorrect here in the same way, as well as other keyboard settings like playing key sounds and highlighting misspelled words.
