2.Do any of the following:

•To select a word from the list that appears when you type and start typing a new word, highlight the word. Press

the key on the keyboard.

•To select an item from the list that appears when you type and continue typing the same word, click the item.

•To change a letter in a word that you're typing, highlight the letter. Click the alternate letter that appears on the screen.
