Autotext Behaviour

[Colin Halliday]

The Autotext facility in Word is very useful but there is one situation
where it is very annoying.

We always type the date of a letter on a line (paragraph) of its own and
immediately hit enter at the end of the year. For example:

17th January 2006¶

The problem is that by the time I get to the end of the date the Autotext is
prompting me with "2006-1-17 (Press enter to insert)".

When I press enter to start a new paragraph I end up with:

17th January 2006-1-17¶

Is there any way to turn off this date type autotext while leaving on
autotext for other text entries?

Thanks.

Unfortunately, the only way around this annoyance (short of disabling
AutoComplete entirely) is to press Space or ESC before pressing Tab or
Enter.
