Default auto complete dates

I use XP Home and XP Office. When typing in a word document my other
computer [same software[ will automatically complete the month/date/year as I
type it. On this computer only the name of the month will auto complete. I
have to manually enter the date and year. Have gone to auto-text and THINK
I've made proper adjustments, however I am certainly no pro at this. Any
ideas???

bobgod,

The feature is fickle in amost all Word versions. You can abondon the whole
affair and use a simple date stamp macro and assign it to a keyboard
shortcut:


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