Date insertion.
When I type the first four letters of the month,I can hit enter and the
entire month is inserted. When I hit the space bar, the rest of the date does not appear. If I type in the entire month and then hit the space bar the entire date appears and I can hit enter and the date will appear. Why does the entire date not appearafter the month is completed by autocomplete? |

Date insertion.
Hi ?B?UGF1bA==?=,
When I type the first four letters of the month,I can hit enter and the entire month is inserted. When I hit the space bar, the rest of the date does not appear. If I type in the entire month and then hit the space bar the entire date appears and I can hit enter and the date will appear. Why does the entire date not appearafter the month is completed by autocomplete? Because that's how it was designed to work. Sounds stupid, I know, but that is the explanation. Probably, the decision was made because month names are often used without a day/date, and it would just be too much hassle to have to tell Word to NOT include the day/date. For the reverse of the problem, consider what happens if you type the year and don't want a full date in the standard ISO format. This drives lots of people nuts.
