From the 07 help menu:
1.. Type the first four characters of the current month.
For example, type febr for February.

Microsoft Word displays the current month: February.

2.. Press ENTER to insert the month, and then press SPACEBAR.
Word displays the current date - for example, February 12, 2008 or 12
February 2008.

3.. Press ENTER to insert the entire date.
Step # 2 seems backwards i.e. after I type "june" I do a spacebar and then
enter to get the current data

It doesn't work like that with English (UK) setup. Typing the first 4
characters of a month only ever produces the month. To get the full date, we
have to type '7 ju' which then autocompletes to 7 June 2007 on pressing
enter. This only works for the current date.

It we type 'The year is 2007' and press enter, we get 'The year is
2007-06-07' which can be immensely annoying. g
