Autocomplete date

In Word 2007 how do you turn off autocomplete date? Every time I type the
year digits eg '2008' Word offers to insert the American form of the digital
date, and I don't want it.

It isn't actually the American form but it a poorly thought out feature.

Autocomplete for AutoText has been removed from Word 2007, but the built-in
AutoComplete for dates remains. All the AutoText Option settings have been
removed from the UI, including - as far as I know - the AutoComplete one and
the only way I know to switch this off is through VBA:

Press: Alt+F11 (open the VBE)
Press: Ctrl+G (go to the Immediate Window)
Type: Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False
Press: Enter (Execute the typed command)
Press: Alt+F4 (Exit the VBE)
