Predictive text in Word 2013

Is there a way to set predictive test in Word 2013 for a few lines

e.g. ....

An address

Aroad
AStreet
Aown.
 
so when I type
Ar ... the rest appears

User claims it worked in a prev version of Word.  I have my doubts it worked on several lines.

I do not see such an option in Word 2013 options. It corrects after you type.

I commented from the point of view of Word 2013 out of the box.  It looks like there may be a third party macro to possibly do what you want.

I think that refers to a product called PreDict.

Word 2013 has an AutoComplete function as well...

I think this is what you were looking for. It is not obvious on how to use but the link above is very descriptive...

I don't think the out-of-the-box settings in Word get what you want. I tried the link above and it did not do what I might have imagined for this.
