How to stop word for auto-inserting the date
When I open a document in Word 2007, if I type 2008 and hit enter it
automatically enters today's date in the format 2008-06-30 (for example). How do I turn this off? I work with numbers a ton and this is very frustrating. |

How to stop word for auto-inserting the date
Wally,
Sounds like you have Language set to English (U.K.), and the automatic entry of the date comes from AutoComplete in AutoText. Doubt this has changed in Word 2007. Not sure where you go to turn it off in 2007 (I use Word 2003), but there should be a dialog box for AutoText (in Word 2003 there is an Auto Text toolbar that will open the dialog box) that has a checkbox for turning off the AutoComplete feature (the ENTER key completes the AutoText entry and inserts the date or phrase into your document). You could search for AutoText or AutoComplete in your Help menu or search bar, or however you search in Word 2007. -- Alice.
