Default How to disable automatic date formating?

Hi Steve,

The only way to disable it is to turn off *all* prompts for AutoText -- go
to Insert AutoText AutoText and uncheck "Show AutoComplete suggestions".
There's no way to affect only the date prompts.

Hi Steve -

Just to clarify, Word isn't offering to *format* the date for you,
it is offering to *complete* the date to save you some keystrokes.
However, the AutoComplete box only appears if you are typing the
current month and/or day, and it offers it in whatever format you
start typing it.

I realize it can be a little distracting, but even if there is a way
to disable it something else might get broken at the same time. Just
keep typing & it goes away.

In my Word 2003 whene I enter a date Word always suggest me to
format the date for me by pressing ENTER.

How can I disable this option whitout disable all other automatic
format option? I just want to disable DATE formating.

Thanks
