how do I stop Word trying to auto complete dates?
I am using Word 2007 and like the previous versions when you start to type a
date, Word recognizes this and tries to help. It drives me mad as it is never in the format I want. |

how do I stop Word trying to auto complete dates?
The suggested format should reflect the regional settings of your computer,
but (if I remember correctly) this is not working correctly with some language versions. To turn off AutoComplete in Word 2007, use this macro: Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False You can run the macro via the Immediate window of the Visual Basic Editor (press Alt+F11, Ctrl+G); just type the command as shown above and press Enter. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "woodyr6" wrote in message ...

I don't want to turn off auto complete, completely - just the element that
insists on trying to finish your dates!!

Well, in Word 2007, AutoComplete is available only for dates. Note that
turning it off won't affect AutoCorrect (that's a different setting). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "woodyr6" wrote in message news I don't want to turn off auto complete, completely - just the element that insists on trying to finish your dates!!

There is no autocomplete in Word 2007 - except for dates.
