How do I get it so that when I am typing my address or
other items in a field the second time, what I am typing
is automatically generated.

For Eaxmple:

In a field I am typing "1234 Bobcat Way." My computer
used to recognize what I was typing and after I
typed "12" in the field the whol ething would be revealed
and I could just click on it?

Thanks.

In the browser? Turn on AutoComplete: Internet Options> Content> Personal

selections. Click OK until Internet Option screens are gone. May need to
relaunch the browser for the change to go into effect.

Some programs, such as MS Word, have similar settings for frequently typed
text within each program's menus.
