When your typing a long word and up jumps the predicted word fully completed above the word you are spelling, how can you accept that word so you dont have to continue typing it?

Sorry am still playing!

Press space when the word appears.

How do you get it to NOT accept that word when you get to the end of the word then? I have had occasion where I have finished typing my word which is not in the dictionary, it has a suggestion I don't want but I need to press space to get on with my next word.......... and that accepts the word I didn't want..... this gets on my tits........ alot.

A space bar! yes! it works.

If I dont want the suggestion sreedy I just keep typing the word I want to spell.

Do you have to press backspace once then some people?

When a predicted word appears and you press backspace, it will not predict any more words until you finish that word and start typing the next.
