SYMPTOMS

When you use the on-screen keyboard to enter text on a Palm-size PC (P/PC), the Word Completion feature may suggest a combination of previously entered acronyms, abbreviations, or misspellings as completed words.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur if you do not tap ENTER on the on-screen keyboard after you enter text that the Word Completion feature does not recognize.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, prevent the Word Completion feature from learning unwanted text combinations. To do this, tap ENTER on the on-screen keyboard after you enter a text combination for which the Word Completion feature has no suggested words.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft Windows CE version 2.0 for the Palm-size PC.
