Office should suggest dates better
When you start to type in the current month, Word suggests today's date to
complete the phrase. It does this even if the day of the week does not match. For example, today is Sunday, June 19. If I start to type in Monday, J-u-n It will start to suggest June 19, 2005, even though this does not match the day of the week I typed in. It should suggest the next upcoming date that matches that day of the week. For example, if I start to type in Monday, J-u-n it should suggest Monday, June 20, 2005. If I start to type in Thursday, J- it should suggest Thursday, June 23, 2005. I think a lot of the stuff it tries to anticipate you wanting to type in is silly. However, if it must suggest a date, it should at least suggest one that might match the one you are trying to type in. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

G'Day,
If I start to type in Thursday, J- it should suggest Thursday, June 23, 2005 By what Magic do you eliminate January and July? Do you really want a date suggested when you type "On Thursday, John came..."? -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "chemteacher" wrote in message ...

Personally, I can't stand the whole auto-suggestion mess. It's rarely what I
want, and often gets in the way like a pesky puppy, or worse. I turn the whole thing off and use it like an old style word processor, relying on myself to know how to spell a word or whether today is Monday or Mondale or June or July. Until it can read minds. Watch out, I'm sure Bill is working on that, too. So Pat, do you guys get Athlete's scalp down there, walking upside-down and all? I hear you have to replace the roofs of your cars every 40,000 miles or so...

G'Day G'Day,
The Atheletes Scalp is an old furphy - but dandruff in the socks is a real pain. Replacing the roofs is an old wives tale - that's where we put the wheels and, since the car's upside-down, the steering wheel is reversed an' we 'ave to drive on the wrong side of the road. Struth! Don't yees know anything? -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "WClayB" wrote in message ... Personally, I can't stand the whole auto-suggestion mess.

Ha, Ha!
Glad you're such a good sport! So for you, some friendly advice: leave open your attic vents when it rains so your house doesn't flood and don't forget the sunscreen when you go out at night!
