Auto insert current date in Leap Year

Using Office 98 on iMac OS 9.2.1. Noticed this morning that when typing in today's date if I allow Word to auto insert (as it always tries to do when I start to type a date) it still thinks it's the 1st of March. Excel, in the same Office 98, calculates NOW correctly as March 2nd so it has already adjusted for leap year but Word has not. OS date is correctly set. Can't find a place to correct Word's date info.

Have you restarted Word since the previous day? Word gets the system date at
startup and doesn't update it when midnight comes and goes.
