Word 2003 problem

[PatTheRat]

Im in the middle of producing a few operational plans for a few businesses, and almost every paragraph ends with a month and year. e.g. 4 new support staff by the end of March 2006.

When I put March 2006 in....word will automatically format it to 03/01/06. There is a way around this by hitting spacebar before hitting return....but does anyone know how to turn this auto-formatting off???

Many thanks.

Go to Tools > Autocorrect Options. Select the Autocorrect tab and untick the "show autocomplete suggestions" option. (This will switch off ALL autocomplete suggestions, not just dates).
