Here is what Word 2021 used to do before I had to have a new hard drive installed and Windows 11 re-installed. I also re-installed Microsoft Office 2021 Professional Plus. After the repairs, Word 2021 Auto-complete stopped working. I checked my settings and AutoComplete is still checked.
1. Open Word and select New Document.
2. In the new document, I start typing the current day of the week (today is Sunday, for example) so I type Sun
3. As I begin typing the name of the day, the auto-complete feature should present a "tool-tip" very close to the text cursor within Word 2021. The tool-tip is the completed name of the day you are typing. You can press the ENTER key to acknowledge the tool-tip, which tells Word to complete the word you are typing with the text in the tool-tip. Therefore, Sunday will be auto-completed.
4. If you follow the name of the day with a comma (regardless of if you accepted the auto-complete), the auto-complete feature should present another tool-tip with the full current date. (Example: September 4, 2022) I can press the ENTER key to acknowledge the tool-tip, causing Word to enter the full date as if I had typed it.
Any ideas on how to fix the problem will be appreciated.
