Date Autocomplete in Word 2007 missing

[cyberchoc]

I am new to Word 2007 but I understand that the autocomplete was taken out by
Microsoft for causing too much confusion on the format of the date. I can go
to VB and set it up with application.displayautocomplete = true BUT is there
some way to make the autocomplete permanent. My user in the US wants to use
it all the time.

Thanks-no matter the answer

Actually, dates are the only thing for which AutoComplete was retained in
Word 2007. It should be operational by default.

And if, for some reason, AutoComplete has been turned off, it should suffice
to run the code once to turn it back on.

Thanks so much, it did!

Unfortunately it wasn't but the VB has reset it. So thank you so much!!

I'm glad I could help.

I've never used VB, but I would like to ensure that my autocomplete is
turned on. Can you please advise how I do this? Thank you VERY much!

As has been indicated autocomplete in 2007 only applies to dates and should
be on my default. If it is off for you then press ALT+F11
to open the vba editor. Press CTRL+G to open the immediate window and in
that window type

application.displayautocomplete = true

and press enter. Close the vba editor (File > Close and return to Microsoft
Word)

Actually it should be:

Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
