i had a pearl and when i would type a word it would finish the word. How do i make my curve do that

I'm not sure the BB has the t9 (predictive text) feature but it does have auto text (which is almost like a spellcheck in the fashion that if you type in 'acn' it will change it to 'can'
to enable 'Autotext' (tools>options>SMS text>Disable Auto text: NO)
If anyone else is certain please advise.

here is the definitive answer:
Predictive Text feature???

The smarttype feature is not necessary with a QWERTY keyboard, so it's not there. Don't know if there is a third-party tool that would do the same thing, but the whole point of it was to enable you to type on the reduced keyboard of the Pearl. Personally, I HATED that feature when I had the 7100.

The Pearl uses BlackBerry's SureType, not T9, and the Curve, being a full-QWERTY device, does not use either one. It does have Auto-text, which automatically formats certain words, like adding apostrophes to common contractions so you don't have to, etc...
