I can't find how to switch off the auto - text feature in Word 2007
that wants to insert the date. It usually tries to do it when I have
typed the date at a letter head, eg 19th July 2008 and I'm about to
press return when it tells me that if I press return I will get the
date inserted! So if I press return without noticing I get 19th July
2008-07-19.

This used to be easy to find in Word 2003 under autotext.
