Auto-complete date no longer works
For some reason the auto complete date stopped working. I used to be able to
type janu...hit enter then space then enter and I'd have the full date. First auto complete would auto fill the month then I would hit space and the rest of the date would fill....And now it only auto fills the Month. Why did this all of the sudden stop working. We tried on my coworkers pc and the same thing happened. We have Office 2003 with most recent updates on XP sp2. Thank you |

Rafael,
Try check the "Show AutoComplete Suggestions" box in Insert || Auto Text || Auto Text. See if it helps. Rafael H wrote: For some reason the auto complete date stopped working.

The only work around I have found for this problem is after you hit enter to complete the month, hit space, backspace, space. then the complete date appears. A pain, yes, but this is the solution I have found so far. hth Diane "Rafael H" wrote: For some reason the auto complete date stopped working.
