auto insert date
From the 07 help menu:
1.. Type the first four characters of the current month. For example, type febr for February. Microsoft Word displays the current month: February. 2.. Press ENTER to insert the month, and then press SPACEBAR. Word displays the current date - for example, February 12, 2008 or 12 February 2008. 3.. Press ENTER to insert the entire date. Step # 2 seems backwards i.e. after I type "june" I do a spacebar and then enter to get the current data |

auto insert date
It doesn't work like that with English (UK) setup. Typing the first 4
characters of a month only ever produces the month. To get the full date, we have to type '7 ju' which then autocompletes to 7 June 2007 on pressing enter. This only works for the current date. It we type 'The year is 2007' and press enter, we get 'The year is 2007-06-07' which can be immensely annoying. g -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "Mike G" wrote in message ...
