Autocomplete/Autotext/not sure...
In Word 2003 I could type April, hit a space, then get a tool tip or
intellisense with the rest of the date, like April 10, 2009 and pressing enter would enter it. Now, in Word 2007, on one computer it still does it, but on another computer it doesn't. I've checked ALL the settings (I believe) in Word Options in both computers and they're identical. What accounts for the difference, and how can I get this feature back? Bob Umlas Excel MVP |

In Word Options Proofing AutoCorrect options go to the Smart Tags tab,
and select the Date smart tag box At least that worked for me. "Bob Umlas, Excel MVP" wrote in message ...

No - that doesn't do it. That setting is selected for both computers. But I
only get the tooltip for one computer. "WhiteRat" wrote: In Word Options Proofing AutoCorrect options go to the Smart Tags tab, and select the Date smart tag box At least that worked for me.

Press Alt+F11 and click on View | Immediate Window. Type the
following: Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True and press Enter.

Of course, I meant in Word 2007 press Alt+F11 etc.

Thanks - that's great for the current document, but I want it to always be
the case for ALL documents, new or old. How can I do this? "garfield-n-odie [MVP]" wrote: Press Alt+F11 and click on View | Immediate Window.

As far as I know, this is a per user/computer setting that should
work for all documents. If it doesn't for you, then maybe your Word 2007 data key is messed up and isn't saving the setting. Close Word 2007, start regedit, and rename the "\\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12. 0\Word\Data" key. Word will automatically create a new data key when you restart it.

..Another oddity - Now, every OTHER time I exit word, after trying this
feature, I get "Normal was being edited by another word session. If you save this document with the original name, you will overwrite any changes made in the other session. Do you want to save the documnent using the original name anyway?" -- WHAT other session? When I click No, I then get A SaveAs dialog, and when I click Cancel I'm left inside Word with no document. Then I need to exit a 2nd time. THEN I get "Changes have been made that affect the global template, Normal. Do you want to save those changes?" Wow. I made these changes to the Normal document in the ThisDocument section: Private Sub Document_New Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True End Sub Private Sub Document_Open() Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True End Sub and in a module: Sub Auto_Open() Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True End Sub HELP!

If you're using Symantec/Norton AntiVirus, try disabling the
Office Plugin that comes with it (but don't disable Norton AutoProtect). See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 "How to use Office programs with the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in" for more information. If that's not it, then maybe there's another add-in at work that isn't completely compatible with Word 2007. Try working through the troubleshooting steps at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/...artingWord.htm .
