making a sound when autocomplete is used
 

I'm using Excel (2002) to transcribe baptism, marriage and burial records.
The autocomplete facility is useful to save keystrokes but if I don't pay
very close attention can sometimes cause me to enter incorrect information.

Is there a way for Excel to generate a sound whenever the autocomplete
facility suggests an entry? That way I will be prompted to look more closely
at the entry.

Thanks,
Bill

It's available on Office 2003, I don't know if it's part of xl 2002.

Ken,
Thanks for the suggestion. It's not what (I thought) I was looking for but
it does seem to solve my problem!
Thanks,
Bill

Hi Bill,

I know you only want to be warned when autocomplete acts, but I don't
know how that could be achieved. I guess it doesn't hurt to have all
you entries checked.
