Hi all new to this forum. I have a problem with Office 2007 (Word) and it is driving my CEO nuts and I have found no solution. The problem: When you open up a new document in word and you start typing the date in this format ( May 23 2008 ) then what happens you get an auto complete tip on the top end of the date before you hit enter. If you type (May 23 2008 ) and hit enter this happens, you get this (May 23 2008-05-23). Can anyone please explain to me how to get rid of that formatting. I basically disabled everything under word's options. Auto Formatting etc and the date formatting just sticks. Any help will be appreciated.

Okay, on to something here.... this screen tips that pop up.... so I select "Don't show screen tips" and I still get screen tips when I do the thingy explained above.....jeez I am lost here...!

I found something at http://www.microsoft.com/offic.....sloc=en-us

Check it out under smart tags (Same Problem I have)....they do not say how, but a registry entry or change can disable screen tips or auto formating... I am not sure... start messing with my registry, not a good thing ..but I will now try anything ! Waiting for your reply

Thanks bud
