Word completing words on me

In MS Word 2010 I downloaded a file from my professor and am answering questions within it and while doing that I'm noticing word complete words on me. for example if I type the word "which" or "because" it will automatically type the last letter of the word. I know it's not a big deal because it probably is just doing that because of something he did in his options but I was just wondering that was that he did. Anybody know?

On the "Insert" menu there's an "Autocomplete" option, which can be set to your own preferences for particular words.

where is that? Remember I'm dealing with Word 2010 format, not Word 2003 format.

Have you tried typing "Autocomplete" into the help box if there's no "Insert" menu?

 

Autocomplete should be an option on "autotext" - at least it is on Word 2003.

Erk! I'm using 7 year-old software! What does that do for my geek cred?

 

Guys chill. I found out where to go Word 2010 is different than all prior versions. You have to go to file, options, proofing, autocorrect options. I found it on the MS website. Funny thing is as soon as I found that out I lost the file (it disappeared) but I don't care because I already finished what I needed to do in it and printed it so I won't bother redownloading it just to try that out I'll just know for next time.
