On further reflection, try running the following macro

Sub Macro1()
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
End Sub

This should force the function to work. If it doesn't, I give in.

I have tried to run Word 2007 in safe mode and autocomplete for dates
still only works in draft view. I have already used norereg registry
entry to keep the two versions of office from reinitializing
constantly. Do you have any other suggestions? Both versions of
Office are installed in default directories with all options
installed. The OS is Win XP Pro SP2.

I have both Word 2003 and 2007 installed and this is not a problem
here? May I suggest you see
http://www.gmayor.com/Toolbars_in_word_2007.htm which illustrates
how to operate them together without interraction. As for your
particular problem, does it do this in its Safe mode (Hold the CTRL
key whilst starting Word)? If then it is OK, see

Hi,
In our school computer lab we need to have both Office 2003 and
2007 installed at the same time. It seems as if autocomplete for
dates (ie entering thur will cause word to suggest Thursday if you
press enter) works fine in Word 2003 but in Word 2007 it only
works in draft view. On computers with only Office 2007 installed
autocomplete works in print view mode as well. Any suggestions on
how to fix this problem will be greatly appreciated.
