Word 2007 - Typing date in document

S

Sparrahart

I am typing dates into a document. When I type 28 January 2010, a pop-up
comes up with 2010-01-28 and suggests I hit Enter. As I do not want this
suggestion I have to hit the space bar. I want to switch this off. How do
I? It is driving me crazy. I thought it was in Auto Correct/Auto Format As
You Type/Apply As You Type/Date Style. I switched that off but my problem is
still there.

Hi,

There is no option in the Word 2007 user interface to turn this off, but
there is a way to turn it off. Press Alt+F11. In the Visual Basic Editor,
press Ctrl+G, which opens the Immediate pane. Then, in the Immediate pane,
type application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False, and press Enter.

This is described in the section entitled "Disabling Automatic Completion of
Dates" along with other ways to adjust to the changes in Word 2007 on my Web
page at
http://www.makeofficework.com/moving_to_word_2007.htm .
