How can i put the date on my paper using autotext by typing in the day of
week
like tues then the correct date comes up i cant figure it out please help
 
The short answer is that you can't. Word has limited autocompletion of
dates, but it doesn't do exactly what you ask and although you could
probably cobble together a set of autotext entries pertinent to each weekday
that would replace with a createdate field. It would be much simpler and
more practical to either use the insert date feature (ALT+SHIFT+D) or insert
the date in whatever format you like using a macro assigned to a keyboard
shortcut e.g.

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _
"d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub
