Hi Diane,

As I said in the original post this is irritating because it occurs in a
journal entry which is in the format of date carraige return next line. I
get the carraige return by pressing enter which then leads to the autodate
replacing the date format I want.

Thanks,

Nigel

I just ignore it and keep typing and it goes away - it will not apply the
style it offers if you either keep typing, or if you are done typing, press
space twice.

I don't like the way that when I type in a date like 25th July 2007 in
Word and Outlook 2007 it insists on offering me 2007-07-25 autocomplete if
I press the enter key. I usually create a juornal entry and then hit enter
to move down to a new line so this is a right pain. Herb Tyson came up
with the following Macro for Word 2007 on his Word 2007 Bible Blog

*To simply turn it off*
Sub TurnOffAutoComplete()
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = False
End Sub

*To toggle it on or off*
Sub TurnOffAutoComplete()
Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips = Not
(Application.DisplayAutoCompleteTips)
End Sub

Unfortunately of course this doesn't work in Outlook
Run-time Error 438
because the object doesn't support this property or method

Can anyone fix this for Outlook or now of another way to sort this out?

Thanks,

Nigel
