When typing suggested words appear as you type. This is very distracting and annoying, and I would like to turn this feature off but cannot find any setting under Options that affects it.

Try with Tools ā AutoCorrect ā AutoCorrect Options ā Word Completion ā disable it.

This does not work for me. Is there anything else Iām missing? I just had a PC crash out of nowhere and this was the only program that opened up with completely wiped settingsā¦
I assume that you have Restarted your computer since then, if not then do it as weird stuff can occur after a crash.
Unticking the āenable word completionā setting takes effect immediately. If it makes no difference after changing it (try restarting LibreOffice) then possibly your user profile has been damaged.
I prefer the manual method of resetting the user profile but some find resetting it from Safe Mode to be more to their liking.
If it is suggesting terms from the same column cells: switch off Tools ā AutoInput.

I actually did but I continued having crashes and eventually had to uninstall some of ASUS terrible software. After restarting a different day the settings I made again suddenly work, but I have no idea why it would wipe the settings in the first placeā¦
If you are on Windows, the default now for Power Off is Hibernate, i.e. keep the PC in exactly the same potentially unstable state. Maybe thatās what happened, if it is then it was Microsoftās intention.
The best way is Restart as that really does reboot the computer. The best option is to turn off Fast Start so power off really does shut down Windows.
Neverminderino. After typing for a while these tooltips keep poping up over my text againā¦
Itās so distracting and Iām trying to study. Iām seriously considering finding a different document program so I donāt have to waste my time like thisā¦
If you have reset your user profile then that would have cleared the list of words in Tools > AutoCorrect > AutoCorrect Options > Word Completion. If you didnāt then untick Enable word completion it would have started collecting and offering words again.
I signed up so that I could upvote your comment. Thanks. This was very helpful in removing an annoying default feature.

me too, this feature should be removed (I donāt really consider it a feature but more an inconvenience) - it is especially strange considering if you ever want to press enter to start a new line (e.g. creating a list), if there is a suggested word, office will automatically enter the suggested word that you did not intend.
It is better to consider a range of situations before implementing a feature like this, or else make sure it is fool proof. e.g. to accept the suggestion it should not be such a common keyboard combination like āEnterā - maybe Alt+Enter or whatever? Should be removed from default until better implementation. thanks
