Default Date auto complete in Word 2007

Date AutoComplete may not be useful (I always turn it off), but it is
certainly still available in Word 2007.

The difference is that you need a macro to turn it on or off. Press Alt+F11
to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate
window. Type

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True

(or = False to disable the option) and press Enter.

It doesn't any more. This feature was so screwed up (especially in non-US
date formats - the rest of the World) that it has gone.

Hi there, I am using Office 2007 and I am unable for the life of me get
word to Auto Complete the date.

Any suggestions?

You used to be able to start typing April and it would offer to fill in
then space would offer to fill int he current date.

Thanx
