Default Date formats in word

Using word 2007. If you type in a date, what appears to be an autocorrect
option appears above. If you press enter the date is added to your date. If
you press space it goes away. The date that is added is not the format we
use in Austraila. How can that be changed. And how can this facility be
disabled?

When the date with the message Press enter to insert appears, just press the
space bar instead.
