Default How do I disable auto insertion of date

Depends on which version you are using. In Word 2003, you could just clear
the "Show AutoComplete suggestions" check box in Insert | AutoText |
AutoText.

If you are using Word 2007, there is no setting in the user interface that
controls AutoComplete, but you can use a macro. Press Alt+F11 to display the
Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to display the Immediate window. Type:

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False

and press Enter.
