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 -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support bobgod wrote: I use XP Home and XP Office.
