When I type 2006 at the end of a line it puts in 2006-02-28. How.
Every time I type 2006 at the end of a line in word, it automatically amends
it to 2006-02-28 (or the current date) This isn't a format I would want to use, but does anyone know how to turn it off? |

Unfortunately, this is a bug in several versions that no one has been able
to figure out the cause of, much less a solution for. The only workaround is to press ESC or Spacebar before pressing Enter or Tab when you get the AutoComplete tip. -- Suzanne S.

You can turn off Autocomplete (Tools Autocorrect Autotext tab) - but it
affects other things as well As an aside to this, I just noticed that If I start Word with a blank document and type 2006 and press Enter I do *not* get the Autotext. At all other times - next line of same new document, after undoing everything in same new document, another new document in Word sesion, start Word with existing document, etc., I do get the autotext. -- Enjoy, Tony "Cumbrianwizard" wrote in message ...

Hi ?B?Q3VtYnJpYW53aXphcmQ=?=,
Every time I type 2006 at the end of a line in word, it automatically amends it to 2006-02-28 (or the current date) This isn't a format I would want to use, but does anyone know how to turn it off? Well, the "short" way is to press ESC The "long" way is Tools/AutoCorrect options/AutoText. Deactivate the checkbox for Autocomplete. But please note this will suppress other things, as well.
