Predictable text, spelling etc

[Barleycorn]

I have a brilliant thing on my phone which actually learns which words and phrases that I use, I can almost write messages etc without typing words. However, the best I can find for the (Win 10) PC is the built in spelling suggestion, or Grammarly, neither of which 'learn' the words that I use. Fed up with writing my email address and farm address etc continually, the phone picks it up from the first letter I type. Is there a programme for the PC that will do this?

There is sort of a way of doing it inside MS Office.

In MS Word you can use AutoText (Insert Tab / Quick Parts / Autotext to add them manually, or select what you want to suggest and do ALT+F3 then ENTER to ok it. Next time you start to type it and there’s a match then it will pop up a tooltip that you can either use ENTER to pick or type something different. If you need to remove these then that lives in the Building Blocks Organiser.

There’s also AutoCorrect which is intended to replace bad spelling with good, but can also replace whole chunks of text when trigger text is detected (“boilerplating). This lives under File Tab / Options / Proofing / AutoCorrect Options. The easier way to add these is to select the text you want to add to AutoCorrect then do ALT, T, A then type the trigger text in the replace box and push ENTER to ok it. When you want to add that text in future, type the trigger text followed by a space or ENTER as appropriate. Ensure that your trigger text is unique to stop it accidentally firing off when not wanted, for example by prefixing entries with something you will never normally type e.g. # which will also make sure they all appear grouped near the top of the list if you need to delete or change them.

In both cases, it you are not a keyboard shortcut person, you could add them to the Quick Access Toolbar (File Tab / Options /Quick Access Toolbar)

Annoyingly, Outlook has AutoText and AutoCorrect but doesn’t share the entries from Word (Word stores them in normal.dotm which Outlook doesn’t use).

Is there a way of editing "Autofill " entries . I mistakenly filled a form ages back with "Av Gorritt and SOIN " and despite correcting the SON bit , every time it goes into autofill mode "SOIN " comes up ? I can obviously delete the " I " each time , but it peeves me greatly doing it .
