AutoComplete Date - Setup Question
I have Word 2003, SP2. With the previous version, if I typed four letters
of a date (such as Febr) and pressed enter, the month was entered. If I then added a space and clicked enter, the day and year were added to the document. With Word 2003, the month autocompletes, but the rest of the date won't apply. I have the "show autocomplete suggestions" box checked under AutoText. What steps are needed to set up this Word version to perform like the last? Thanks, Jim |

AutoComplete Date - Setup Question
Jim,
All you say is true and discussed several times in these NGs. The AutoComplete date feature is fickle. Sometimes it works and at other times it doesn't. I have given up on it and use a DateStamp macro that I assigned a keystroke shortcut. Sub DateStamp() ' Inserts current date Selection.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM dd, yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End Sub See: http://www.gmayor.dsl.pipex.com/installing_macro.htm for help installing macros.
