I'm trying to get Word XP to automatically insert the current date in a
document.
I turned on the AutoText option, but only the month appears after I type the
4th letter of the month's name. The numerical date doesn't appear, so I
cannot hit ENTER to let the date default to the current date.
I must be missing a step, but here is what I did to activate the AutoText
for the date:
Click Insert | AutoText | AutoText.
On the Smart Tags tab, I clicked Date (Smart tag lists).
Clicked OK.
After performing the above, I typed the first 4 letters of the month's name
in the document and the name of the month appeared. I pressed ENTER and the
month's name was entered in to the document for me. I continued to type the
numerical date, but the current date did NOT appear.
What am I missing??
Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.
