Prevent Date form auto-completing in Word 2003

[M_Hood]

Hi Guys,

a straightforward request here. I am wanting to prevent Word from
auto-completing the date when I type one in. For example when I type 15th
November, it adds the year automatically, or inserts a date in the 01/01/95
format. Is there a tick box / option to prevent this happening and basically
just accept my text 'as is' so to speak ?

Cheers.

Hi M.,

You can disable the autocomplete in Word 2003 from Tools=>Autocorrect Settings
and turn off the [x] Autocomplete suggestions in the Autotext tab.
