Default Dates in WORD 2007

I have looked in:-

Office Button (top left hand corner)

Word Options (lower right hand corner)

Proofing (on the left hand side) then, on the right hand side, click on
AutoCorrect Options . . .

- but could see nothing in there that could be turned off.

However a quick and easy solution to your problem would be to place a space
character after the last digit of the 2010 that you mention.

If you do this your problem goes away.

If my comments have helped please hit Yes.

Thanks.

Hi
I am running Windows XP and have just installed WORD 2007. Can someone
please tell me how I stop the parser auto-completing dates for me?

I like to write 29th May, 2010 - but as soon as I type that and hit ENTER
I get 2010-05-29 on the end.

It's driving me nuts!!
