code to enable dynamic expansion inside of Word

B

BHW

Modern editors usually include a keyboard shortcut that allows the
programmer (or writer) to expand a word using words already entered in
the document. If I had this capability, I could type in<shortcut> and
the editor would give me the choice of expanding "in" to "include."
Does anyone have a Word VBA program that will do this? Short of an
actual program, I'd be happy with code that would let me do dynamic
expansion by searching a file of frequently used words and offering to
expand the current word. The trick, imho, is getting VBA to (1) read
the characters I've just entered, (2) compare with a list of words
(preferably built from my current document, and (3) offer choices to
replace these characters with multiple matches. Ideas?

Thanks!
