Autocomplete in 2007 and normal.dot
Hi
When I type todays date, Word tries to autocomplete it - in 2003 I used to be able to turn off 'show autocomplete tip for autotext and dates' - how do I do that in 2007? Also, does normal.dot still exist and work in the same way as previous versions and where is it stored? Thanks Anita |

You can no longer turn off AutoComplete; see:

Autocomplete in 2007 and normal.dot
The AutoComplete option is no longer available in the UI but you can use the
following to turn it off: - Copy the following statement from this post: Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False - Press Alt+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor - Press Ctrl + G to open the Immediate Window - Paste the previously copied statement in the Immediate Window - Press Enter to execute the statement If you want them to display again, change False to True and repeat the steps. I believe your question about the Normal template was answered in a previous post. :-) Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup.

Autocomplete in 2007 and normal.dot
Hurrah and thanks. This solution worked for me in Word. But not in Outlook.
I don't mind it autocompleting email addresses but getting "2007-10-01" when I'm typing a message is driving me mad. Is a solution available?? Thanks.

You could follow the instructions in Beth's post, which tell how to do
exactly this. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "LSmith" wrote in message ...

Actually, I had followed Beth's instructions before posting, but it didn't
work. Hitting enter just added another line in the immediate window, so I clicked on "close and return to windows" instead. "Suzanne S.
