If I remember correctly you just hit enter.

I found this quite frustrating the first time I dealt with it. I didn´t figure it out until this happened with 2 words in the drop down list.

Hit the down arrow and select the word, then hit enter.

Hope this helps

Hi,
Jim is right per default it is 'enter' rsp. 'return'.
If this doesn't please you just change the key shortcut by going to Extras -> auto correct -> word completion ->
accept with ... options.

Can you help with this problem?
