  <title>Word Completion</title>

  <p>The <app>Word Completion</app> plugin can speed up your editing by
  suggesting completions of words as you type.</p>

  <steps>
    <title>To enable the plugin:</title>
    <item>
      <p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
      <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
      <gui style="tab">Plugins</gui></guiseq>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Select <gui style="menuitem">Word Completion</gui> to enable the
      plugin.</p>
    </item>
  </steps>

  <p>While editing, the <app>Word Completion</app> plugin will automatically
  display a pop-up list of words that begin with the letters you have already
  typed. Word suggestions are based upon words that appear elsewhere in your
  document and upon pre-defined keywords if your document is of a recognised
  format.</p>

  <p>To insert a suggested word, double-click on it in the pop-up list or press
  <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>Num</key></keyseq>, where <key>Num</key> is the
  number displayed next to your desired word.</p>
