Unfortunately, this is a bug in several versions that no one has been able
to figure out the cause of, much less a solution for. The only workaround is
to press ESC or Spacebar before pressing Enter or Tab when you get the
AutoComplete tip.

Every time I type 2006 at the end of a line in word, it automatically
amends
it to 2006-02-28 (or the current date) This isn't a format I would want
to
use, but does anyone know how to turn it off?
