How do I prevent Word 2007 trying to insert the date?

I can't find how to switch off the auto - text feature in Word 2007 that
wants to insert the date. It usually tries to do it when I have typed the
date at a letter head, eg 19th July 2008 and I'm about to press return when
it tells me that if I press return I will get the date inserted! So if I
press return without noticing I get 19th July 2008-07-19.

This used to be easy to find in Word 2003 under autotext.
