hi, i used to have auto date completion in word 2003 - what happened to it?
how do i type 8/10 then enter to have the date completed to 8/10/07 for
example. thx
 
Autocomplete is no longer available (though it still does months). The
simplest workaround is to use a macro to insert the date in the format you
want, either triggered by a keyboard shortcut or a button on the QAT
eg

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MM/dd/yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub
