Hi there, I am using Office 2007 and I am unable for the life of me get
word to Auto Complete the date.

Any suggestions?

You used to be able to start typing April and it would offer to fill in
then space would offer to fill int he current date.

Thanx
 
It doesn't any more. This feature was so screwed up (especially in non-US
date formats - the rest of the World) that it has gone.
 
Date AutoComplete may not be useful (I always turn it off), but it is
certainly still available in Word 2007.

The difference is that you need a macro to turn it on or off. Press Alt+F11
to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate
window. Type

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True

(or = False to disable the option) and press Enter.

Yes, I remember now deactivating it! I've been so happy with it being off
that I thought it was standard. I'd be so lucky!

Ok yes i know it is still available but since I reinstalled all its not.

Is there a way to make the macro for ALL word documents?

Thanx HUGE Stefan
