Re: Date Insert error - Word 2007

It works fine in English (UK) versions (the first time it has worked correctly in any version of Word). I would expect this to be fixed in the first ServicePack due early next year. But you should call Microsoft and report it as a bug to make sure that it is logged correctly (the more reports a bug receives, the higher the priority given to a bug).

Same issue here. We just installed Office 2007 Enterprise to our entire
company. No one can get the Auto insert date to work. If you type the first
four letters of the month, then press Enter, it completes the month, but
pressing the spacebar does not complete the date (day, year.) Is Microsoft
going to fix this issue?

I am using the English (US) version. As Gary pointed out in his reply, it
was working correctly when I first installed Office 2007 but now it is no
longer working correctly.
