Word 2007 only inserts the current month when I start typing -
Is there some setting we are missing? I have looked all thru AutoCorrect and
don't see anything. It will complete the month, ie. Octo to October but then when I hit the spacebar, nothing. |

Verify that the correct language is applied to text.

Although BJ doesn't directly say so, I think the issue is that BJ
expects the full current date to show as the AutoCorrect entry when he starts typing the current month. In Word 2007 (and maybe other versions, too), one would need to type the 'October [space]" before, say, 'October 9, 2007' shows as the AutoCorrect entry. As BJ says, if one types "octo", the AutoCorrect entry supplies just the month. Is there a way, *without* a macro, to have the AutoCorrect entry give the full current date if one types just the first 4 letters of the month?

I don't see a way to get Word insert the full date immediately. But the OP
wrote that he or she did see AutoComplete for the month, but not for the date and year (even after typing a space), which is why I suggested looking at the language, since date formats are different in different languages. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "djprius" wrote in message ...

AutoComplete for dates has been a bit flakey for several versions. What I
have found is once you complete the month, press the Spacebar, Backspace, then press the Spacebar again and you should see the suggestion to complete the current date.

Thank you for explaining this, which I've never seen myself (probably
because it's a date format I never use :-) ). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Beth Melton" wrote in message ... AutoComplete for dates has been a bit flakey for several versions.

I'm not sure if that was much of an explanation but rather the only way I
can seem to make it work. :-) If I'm not mistaken, the non-English US language settings have even more problems with some of the formats you want to use when it comes to AutoComplete. sigh Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

problems with some of the formats you want to use when it comes to AutoComplete. sigh I guess I have been lucky, then... :-) More importantly, I don't rely on AutoComplete that much (not since it was removed for AutoText, that is). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Beth Melton" wrote in message ...
