Default How to disable automatic date formating?

Hi Steve -

Just to clarify, Word isn't offering to *format* the date for you, it is
offering to *complete* the date to save you some keystrokes. However, the
AutoComplete box only appears if you are typing the current month and/or
day, and it offers it in whatever format you start typing it.

I realize it can be a little distracting, but even if there is a way to
disable it something else might get broken at the same time. Just keep
typing & it goes away.

Hi Steve,

The only way to disable it is to turn off *all* prompts for AutoText -- go
to Insert AutoText AutoText and uncheck "Show AutoComplete suggestions".
There's no way to affect only the date prompts.

As if there aren't more significant issues for clients to b*tch about

As Jay points out, some things "are what they are"!
