That's odd. I'm in the UK, using Word 2007. When I start typing the date
I get as far as "3 Ap" and I get offered the auto-complete of "3 April
2009".
If I use the US date format of "April 3, 2009" only when I've typed the
"9" do I get offered the auto-complete which adds on the "-04-03"
nonsense that annoyed so many people.
So it looks as though that feature is still available, but maybe only in
the version I've got, which I think is the basic Home edition. Mind you,
it only works if I can remember what today's date is!

certainly still available in Word 2007.
The difference is that you need a macro to turn it on or off. Press Alt+F11
to display the Visual Basic Editor. Press Ctrl+G to activate the Immediate
window. Type
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = True
(or = False to disable the option) and press Enter.

Yes, I remember now deactivating it! I've been so happy with it being off
that I thought it was standard. I'd be so lucky!

Is there a way to make the macro for ALL word documents?
