Hi, does anyone know how to select the predictive text that pops up whilst typing from the hardware keyboard on the Wizard?

At the moment I can seemingly only select it by click on the screen with the stylus, which is rather inconvienient when thumb typing.

I have scoured the posts for a mention of this but to no avail, so apologies is this is a regular!

Thanks.

I did it once by accident and forget the key stroke. But I am thinking it was either a press of the tab key or the down arrow to get into the matching word list, then an enter to select the word...

Other things I found.

Pressing the red dot twice will lock the keyboard in this mode, two preses gets it unlocked. Good for entering a string of numbers.

Same pressing twice of the shift key will shift lock the keyboard. Same deal pressing twice unlocks.

You simply press the down arrow to select the word then enter? Does that not work? I seem to remember that being how it was done but I've had PT off for a while now...

Does anyone know how to disable the predictive test? I find it more anoying than anything else.

Start -> Settings -> Input -> Word Completion -> Untick "Suggest words..."

Simple.

Just look around all the other apps in Settings, you might learn a thing or ten :)

Does anyone know how to delete suggestions that come up? I have noticed that too often mispelled suggestions come up with predictive text, which I think "learns" from typos that I too often make.

User suggested words dictionary
In addition to the system dictionaries for the suggested words, there is also a user-defined one, compiled by Windows Mobile dynamically. The location of this file is in: "\Windows\dyncompdict.dat". This file can safely be deleted. Editing the contents of this file is more difficul, please see the following for a useful application to generate a new one:
