I like the word completion function available in Windows Mobile 5 and AgendusPro. I've elected to have four choices presented each time I begin a new word. Problem is, I can't figure out how to tell the program that I want to use the selected word.

I see that I can use the arrow keys to scroll down to the word I want, but I don't see a way to get the program to finish the word I started writing any other way that by tapping it with my stylus. I can't believe this is the way it works.

I went through the Agendus and Windows Mobile 5 manuals to search for Word Completion, but didn't find anything. A Google search takes me to the Agendus manual, but I just don't see it.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

ps. Why does the program always present a word in the plural. If I start to type door, the program offers doors.

Regards,

I don't have a WM device, so can't help you, but I'm moving this out of the Palm OS forum, and to the correct forum, so it will get attention from those who do use the device.

Hi Larry,

The word completion function of the Operating System is at times perplexing. :rolleyes: In order to select a word that is being suggested (in the blue box), you can activate or select it one of two ways: Tap it with the stylus or it can be selected by pressing the middle action button on a dpad.

I would think that because you have your settings for suggesting after 4 letters that the word door is always going to produce a plural result because you have told the OS that you want a suggestion after four letters so that makes sense. If you want to play around with the setting and try the default suggest after 2 letters, that may be a better fit for you.

BTW, the word completion is a WM feature and not an Agendus feature. ;)

I hope this is helpful.
