Autofill Contacts In MS Word

orbj

Registered
When typing a document in Microsoft Word, I often put my name in the header. I also have a sister who shares my last name. So, when I attempt to type

Jxxxx Kxxxx

it automatically fills it in with my sister's name, making it look like this:

Jxxxx Kxxxx, Cxxx

and Kxxx, Cxxx has red/purple dots underneath it. This is very frustrating. My sister's name is not in the Address book shipped with the computer, though I do have contact with her through Microsoft Entourage. I am using the latest version of Office. How do I disable this??
Thanks,

From MS Word Help:

Turn on or off AutoComplete

1. On the Insert menu, point to AutoText, and then click AutoText.
2. Select or clear the Show AutoComplete tip for AutoText, Contacts, and dates check box.
After you select the check box, Microsoft Word will display a ScreenTip when you type the first few characters of a date or AutoText entry, at which point you can insert the entry or continue typing
