Unfortunately, there is no way to disable this single AutoComplete
annoyance. Some people seem to be immune to it, but it is the bane of those
who aren't. There are, however, some ways to get around it:

1. After typing the year, press the Spacebar before Enter or Tab.

2. In your template, insert a CreateDate field that will insert the date for
you automatically so that you don't have to type it at all.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

I have Office 2003, and use Word. Please let me know how to turn off the
following: Whenever I type '2005', it automatically comes up with a box
to
make an auto-chage to 2-28-05 (or whatever the current date is). I'd like
to
turn off just this one correction, without turning off the autosuggestion
feature completely.

Thank you.
