I too want to turn off this annoying feature. However when I follow the tip
below there is no box marked 'Show AutoComplete tip for AutoText and dates'.
Just one that says "Show Auto-complete Suggestions." If I uncheck that will
it also remove other auto-complete functions that I want to keep?

I just want it for the date not to be filled in whenever I type 2005.

Thanks :-)

Every time I type in a date in a letter (eg "27th July 2005") and hit enter,
WORD auto corrects it and changes the date to an abbreviated date format.

How can I stop this from happening?
