Default I am not able to have Word 2002 automatically complete the full da

When I write a letter, I am given automatic completion of the month. When I
use the space bar, I no longer get the day and year? I have tried to go into
merge and autocompletion box is checked?

I don't recall it ever doing that here, though it may be a language
dependent function and UK dates do not use American layouts. Much better to
use a createdate field in the letterhead template
(http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Letterhead.htm ) to insert the date in a
letter, or use a macro:

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _
"d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub

than to rely on autocomplete.
