When inserting a date using Word 2002 SP3, Word inserts the date iin the
format "Friday, 06/03/2005" as opposed to "Friday, June 3, 2005" which is the
way it used to do it and the way I prefer. In other words, I want to insert
the month spelled out, and can only insert the numerical representation of
the month into my documents.

How can I go back to the way is was? Is this possibly the result of an
upgrade I downloaded from MS to Word? Can I return to the previous
incarnation?

If you use "Date and Time" on the Insert menu, the format you want should be
the second choice. It sounds like you are using the heading toolbar.

Insert | Date and Time | Select the format you want click Default then OK
