The odd thing is it didn't use to do this on this same system. Only recently
it has been happening.
Thanks.

This is a problem on some systems and comes from AutoComplete. The only
workaround is to press ESC or the spacebar when you get the AutoComplete
tip, before pressing Enter or Tab. The only alternative is to disable
AutoComplete entirely.

I have a co-worker who has an unusual problem whenever she types in a date

in
text form, such as July 1, 2005, the current date is automatically added
after, so that it looks like July 1, 2005 4/29/05. This seems to happen

with
any new document. She has never created a macro and I compared all of her
Tools Options features, as well as her autotext/autocorrect entries and
nothing new has been added that I can see. What could be causing this?
