I don't want to turn off auto complete, completely - just the element that
insists on trying to finish your dates!!

The suggested format should reflect the regional settings of your computer,
but (if I remember correctly) this is not working correctly with some
language versions.

To turn off AutoComplete in Word 2007, use this macro:

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False

You can run the macro via the Immediate window of the Visual Basic Editor
(press Alt+F11, Ctrl+G); just type the command as shown above and press
Enter.

I am using Word 2007 and like the previous versions when you start to type
a
date, Word recognizes this and tries to help. It drives me mad as it is
never in the format I want.
