Autotext Behaviour
The Autotext facility in Word is very useful but there is one situation
where it is very annoying. We always type the date of a letter on a line (paragraph) of its own and immediately hit enter at the end of the year. For example: 17th January 2006¶ The problem is that by the time I get to the end of the date the Autotext is prompting me with "2006-1-17 (Press enter to insert)". When I press enter to start a new paragraph I end up with: 17th January 2006-1-17¶ Is there any way to turn off this date type autotext while leaving on autotext for other text entries? Thanks. -- Colin Halliday |

Autotext Behaviour
Unfortunately, the only way around this annoyance (short of disabling
AutoComplete entirely) is to press Space or ESC before pressing Tab or Enter. -- Suzanne S.
