Thanks very much, Jay.
I tested this on Windows and Mac, and it worked exactly as you
describe on Windows.
On the Mac, for complete matching, it just shows what I type and
nothing else; but if I try first letter matching, it shows only the
current letter that I've just typed, as though trying to match up
first letters. Clearly it's TRYING to work, and the object browser
indicates that it SHOULD work. But it doesn't: prompting and scrolling
just don't happen. I tried hardcoding the numeric values as well, but
same thing. This is MacWord 2001 on OS9.2.
