Office Pro 2007 on XP Pro

When first installed, Word would automatically complete the date for a
letter. Now it does not provide for any automation of this item.

What happened and how do I turn this function back on?

Thank you in advance for the help.

Freddy,

That feature is very erratic. Sometime is works and sometimes it
doesn't. I use a date stamp macro assigned to a keyboard shortcut.

Sub DateStamp()
' Inserts current date
Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM dd, yyyy",
InsertAsField:=False
End Sub
