I agree. Visual Age has a similar helper-feature, with the difference that
you get to decide by yourself (!) (by pressing <ctrl>-space) when you want
that list-box. This takes less over-all performance (the tool doesn't have
to be continuously over-intelligent), and you don't get the annoyance that
the tool 'guessed' wrong. Cudos to M$ though; Auto-correct can be turned
OFF in Word.
