Where does this date ending come from?
Every time I type a date, say, "January 27, 2005," what appears is "January
27, 2005-01-27." I can't find anything in my auto text or auto correct entries that would cause it. Although I know that "2005-01-27" is one the date field formats, I can't figure out what I'm doing to invite it onto my document! It's driving me nuts! What would YOU do? |

You're pressing Tab or Enter when you get the AutoComplete tip (which
presumably you have not noticed). The only known workaround (aside from disabling AutoComplete entirely) is to add a space before pressing Enter. -- Suzanne S.
