bobgod,

The feature is fickle in amost all Word versions. You can abondon the whole
affair and use a simple date stamp macro and assign it to a keyboard
shortcut:


Sub DateStamp()
Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM dd, yyyy",
InsertAsField:=False
End Sub

I use XP Home and XP Office. When typing in a word document my other
computer [same software[ will automatically complete the
month/date/year as I type it. On this computer only the name of the
month will auto complete. I have to manually enter the date and
year. Have gone to auto-text and THINK I've made proper adjustments,
however I am certainly no pro at this. Any ideas???
