Default Unable to insert date into Word document

Thanks - it works great. But what a goofy thing to have to do.

"AutoComplete for dates has been a bit flakey for several versions. What I
have found is once you complete the month, press the Spacebar, Backspace,
then press the Spacebar again and you should see the suggestion to complete
the current date."

I have Windows XP and Office 2003. I can't seem to get the date
automatically
to insert. When I start to print say January it suggests the rest of the
month however when I hit the space bar to have it finish the rest of the
date
it doesn't show up. I've already checked all my settings and they seem to
be
correct. Am I missing something?
