Default Autocomplete date in Word 2007

I know this has been addressed numerous times, but I still can't get it to
work. I have done the Visual Basic (... = True), have changed the way the
date appears in Windows Control Panel, have doublechecked all my Auto Format
settings, used F3, I still get nothing. Anybody else have something else to
try? Appreciate your help!

Default Autocomplete date in Word 2007

AutoComplete suggestions are a bit unpredictable. A few years ago, Greg Maxey
posted this macro that you may find useful:

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

If you need assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
