Date Auto Complete
The automatic date completion feature does not seem to be working in Word
2007 although it is working fine in Outlook 2007. Is there something I need to enable first? |

Autocomplete was removed from Word 2007.

Okay. But then why does the feature work in Outlook 2007 which uses Word as
it's editor. Eg: If I type "Febr" in Outlook it is going to prompt me to see if I want to insert the work "February". Am I missing something here? "Dian D.

You're right, I was wrong. They were going to remove it, but by
checking HELP, it shows that it is still there. Sorry, not sure why it's not working for you in Word. Dian ~ On Sat, 17 Feb 2007 00:01:03 -0800, JJS-53 wrote: Okay.

My understanding is that Outlook 2007 does *not* use Word as its editor.

The Outlook situation is a little complicated. What Outlook 2007 uses
is a separate DLL that contains some of the same functions and code that are in Word. When you edit messages in Outlook 2007, the Word program itself (winword.exe) is not involved. Also, Outlook uses a different default template, NormalEmail.dotm rather than Normal.dotm. AutoComplete for month names does work in Word 2007 -- at least, in my installation it does. I haven't seen any options that turn it off, so I don't have a suggestion for how to turn it on. If you can't find the cause, you could define AutoCorrect entries to expand the abbreviations. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
