Real autocompletion in Microsoft Word

@IainB:
I knew about Word's AutoText, but it doesn't really do what I need:
You can then type in the part-words you want to be auto-corrected (or auto-completed) and the full string/phrase that you want it to become
--- End quote ---
With most text editors, you don't need to specifically tell it to autocomplete this or that word: if you start typing "syn" and there are already words "syncronous" and "synchronicity" in the file, it should automatically propose completion to "syncron" (and possibly a way to choose between "syncronous" and "synchronicity" as well). Strangely, LibreOffice does it wrong: it will propose whichever of "syncronous" and "synchronicity" is more common instead of the common prefix.
@cmpm:
Thanks, I'll try it out!

I don't use Word, but DC already has plenty of threads on autocompletion software, text expanders, completers and the like:
