Automatic Date Doesn't Work
I'm converting a large number of desktops to Office 2007. I've discovered a
problem that appears on all our installations. The auto date date completion doesn't work. I've followed the instructions on Help exactly, have had others try it to no avail. I wonder if something is missing in my install or if it's a bug? It a feature our staff uses heavily and the only way I've gotten around it not being there is to create a macro to insert the current date. But that isn't a good solution. Has anyone else had this problem and how is it resolved? -- Judy Crawford IT System Tech 22 years of desktop support |

Interesting. Most people are irritated by it. A macro attached to a keyboard
shortcut or QAT button offers much more control. If you type 2007 do you get a tool tip prompt? If you do, it is working correctly. If not Press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. In the Immediate window, which can be displayed by pressing Ctrl+G, type the following: Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True and press Enter. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JudyAC wrote: I'm converting a large number of desktops to Office 2007.

Automatic Date Doesn't Work
OK, here's the deal. I created the macro or did the Visual Basic script, and
now October 12, 2007 will appear as auto complete. However, to answer your question typing 2007 does not give me a tool tip even though I have the Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips sent to True. My big question is why doesn't it work as intended, on all my installed base, especially since help explains how it works by default, but ours doesn't. Also what is a QAT key? I haven't heard that terminology and I'm a very seasoned Word technician. What am I missing? -- Judy Crawford IT System Tech 22 years of desktop support "Graham Mayor" wrote: Interesting.

QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) .
I don't know why it isn't working for you. I suspect the level of autocomplete support is dictated by the regional language settings of Windows and/or the current language at the cursor. If you wish to follow my previous suggestion and insert the date by macro then Sub InsertUSFormatDate() With Selection .InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _ "d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False End With End Sub attached to a QAT button or keyboard shortcut will do the trick -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org JudyAC wrote: OK, here's the deal.

Automatic Date Doesn't Work
Thanks, Graham. I understand how to make that macro, and I will if that's a
last resort, but think you are missing my point just a bit. I have a large installed base and hate to go to each PC and create that Macro. I fully believe it is Microsoft's responsibility to make a program work out of the box as intended and this doesn't. If I only had one or two PC's that needed that macro, no big deal, but when it's every PC on which Office 2007 is installed then it's a different matter. In the best of worlds, when MS help tells you how to do somthing it should work. Can't you or someone get to an Office tech on this? I don't want to put a $259.00 charge on my own personal credit card just to report this problem. If you can tell me some way I can globally put a keyboard macro in the normal template of 60 PC's then I'll be some what satisfied even though I believe MS should know about this one and solve it or tell me how to solve it.

how to talk to someone at Microsoft about this. It is somthing I'd like to report as not working as intended and don't know where to report it.

Automatic Date Doesn't Work
Judy, I'm with you on this. Where does one go to report bugs to Microsoft?
I'm retired from 45 years in IT, from Business Analyst all the way back to machine language coding, assembler, and BASIC. I no longer get paid to fix bugs but I do want my software to work as advertised. When I first installed Word 2007 I loaded in a text file that was created in Word 2000 and updated daily right up to the end of the year (2007). The date insertion function seemed to work. I then started a new file for the 2008 year and it seemed that the date insertion worked for a week or so and then just quit. Now get this: I just now went back to that earlier file and typed in (as the example in the Help file shows) febr The tip popped up saying to press enter. I did and February was completed. I then hit the space bar and I got a space. That's all. BUT... I then hit the backspace twice, typed in the y for the end of February and I got the tip asking me to hit enter for the rest of the date, and it worked! How's that for a clue for the MS programmers to work on? I don't even want to write a macro so I will just continue typing. Frank "JudyAC" wrote: Graham thanks.

I decided to go ahead and change my signature completely. I felt it was more
important to include a link that may help folks understand that MVPs are not Microsoft employees. (I'm personally a little tired of being treated like one! They couldn't pay me enough to work in PSS -- all of the ranting that you have to take because you're being paid to listen? Nope, not for me. ;-) ) How about we make a deal? I'll keep my new signature and in return, could you start posting your replies to the person in which you are actually responding? The reasons for this request a 1) These are threaded discussion groups and the majority of those who follow these newsgroups use a tree view, not a linear view. (btw, Google Groups has a tree view option.) 2) The protocol for at least the last 10 years has been threaded discussions in these newsgroups. (I'm sure it's been longer but 10 years is about how long I've been hanging out here. :-) ) 3) The majority of the posters use Microsoft's web interface or Windows Mail to access the newsgroups. Both have a subscription option that can be used to notify them of replies to their posts. This is a "per post" option so if you post your comments intended for the original poster (OP) on someone's reply, the OP may not see your newly added information. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs "grammatim" wrote in message ...

I'm sorry, I misspoke about Windows Mail. I thought it was originally in the

that I look at it, it also has a shortcut toggle of Ctrl+H which will be handy. That's why I browse these newsgroups, for little nuggets like that :-) "Beth Melton" wrote in message ...

In an unrelated post, you mentioned this: 3) The majority of the posters use Microsoft's web interface or Windows Mail to access the newsgroups. Both have a subscription option that can be used to notify them of replies to their posts. This is a "per post" option so if you post your comments intended for the original poster (OP) on someone's reply, the OP may not see your newly added information. So, I would like to know how to activate that 'subscription option' in Windows Mail, as I think it could be useful in posting, but I don't know how to ask for such replies to my newsgroup posts. How do I do that in Windows Mail? Thanks. |
