using Autotext
The short answer is that you can't. Word has limited autocompletion of
dates, but it doesn't do exactly what you ask and although you could probably cobble together a set of autotext entries pertinent to each weekday that would replace with a createdate field. It would be much simpler and more practical to either use the insert date feature (ALT+SHIFT+D) or insert the date in whatever format you like using a macro assigned to a keyboard shortcut e.g. Sub InsertUSFormatDate() With Selection .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _ "d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "dutrem" wrote in message ...
