turn off automatic date completion

B

Bonso

When I write a word in my Microsoft words 2007 editor that indicates the
beginning of date some automatic completion mechanism is triggered displaying
the full date.

Unfortunately in my native language (Swedish) there are some words that are
very common but that also could be the beginning of a date so this flashing
occurs very often.

I do not like this so I wonder how a script could look to disable this
mechanism?

I agree: the autocomplete function is infuriating when you are writing in
Swedish.

The bad news is that Microsoft doesn't agree; they apparently think the
function is so wonderful that they didn't bother to include an option to turn
it off. See: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100997751033.aspx

The good news is, if you're a little computer savvy, you can turn it off
anyway. See the instructions on this web page. I just tried it, even though
I had never operated with macros before, and it worked. What a relief!
