Hi,

I use JAWS 2022, Word 16, Windows 11. JAWS keep giving suggestions on capitalization and auto-suggestion to complete sentences which I do not want. How can I turn these off? They are a huge irritant.

Mike:

I’ve now turned off auto-suggestions in Word, but how do I do this in Outlook?

Hello Tom:

 

Open up a new message in Outlook. Then press ALT+F then t. Arrow down to mail.  Tab to Editor Options, press Space. Now, arrow down to Advanced and start tabbing. You will find the Autocorrect checkbox there, which you can turn off with space.

Open the Word options, Alt + T, then press the letter, O.

 

Down arrow to the Advanced category now tab until you find, show auto complete suggestions, uncheck this

 

You might also find the option to make your changes globally across all documents in this category.

 

 

Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

To add to that, a particular feature that I want to turn off globally is WOrd suggesting how to complete a word/sentence, based on the letters that I have entered. E.g., when I enter "frien," it suggests" friendship."

Thanks, all. How do I implement these changes in a uniform way across all word documents? Right now, I have to do this separately for each document.

 

I am not seeing an option to do this in the settings centre, under proofing.

Another way to get to the Word options categories is by pressing, Alt + T, then press the letter, O.

Small addition: You can bring up options (the second step below_) by pressing t after alt-f.

Hi Rahul,

In Word, bring up the file menu with alt+f, choos "Options" - it may be quicker to arrow up than down, choose "Proofing", choose "Auto correct" and have a play in there.

Cheers,

Ed
