Disable automatic insertion of date in Word 2007

Hi
We use Office 2007 Danish and I need to find the setting that disables the automatic correction/insertion of dates in Word 2007. If I want to write
24. february 2011 it automatically corrects it to 24. february 2011-03-17. I have looked everywhere, but can't find the setting that I have to disable?
Can anyone help?
/Lasse

THIS WORKED !  Thanks Stefan.  Sadly I have no understanding of how and why it worked and I wish MS would make something like this much easier to turn on and, more importantly, turn it OFF.
Thank you very much, I miss the old ? Help at the top of the toolbar.
I'm glad you found my reply useful. :-)
Note that newer versions of Word make it easier to turn off AutoComplete suggestions. In Word 2010 and 2013, you'll find the option at File tab | Options | Advanced.

  • Insert  PDF document into Word 2007 document

    I am trying to insert a PDF document into a Word 2007 document and only the first page inserts.  I am desperate to finish this project.  Thanks for any help.

    A lot depends on what your end goal is in using the PDF. Without some concept of where you are headed, there is not much more that can be said, other than list a bunch of other ways to interact with WORD.
    Yeah, I agree with Bill@VT. More precisely say, if you just need to quote the pdf content, you can just use "snagit" screenshot program to capture desired part of the pdf file as an image then paste into your word document. Usually in this way, there will not any resize or data loss of reuse pdf content into word file.
    And of course, if you want to further change or edit the pdf content or seamlessly <link removed>, you just try to convert pdf to word with Adobe Acrobat or other software.

  • How can I automatically insert a date in Pages for my Ipad

    Is there any way to automatically insert the current date in a letter using Pages for the IPad?  If so how?

    It is no possible.
    An alternative is to create a Page file with password in Pages for Mac, and save it to iCloud, then open it on the iPad using the password in iCloud.

  • Automatically inserting Julian Date (yyD) in subject line in Mail

    Problem: I would like to automatically insert at the beginning of the Subject line in a new Mail message, a Julian Date, eg. 06277. The suffix to this date (yyD) is /n (where n is the sequential number commencing at 0001hrs for the given day (D).
    Question: How do I achieve this? AppleScript or Automator? Further, what is either the script or the automator commands?

    Hi Jeffrey
    I've emailed the full script to you, so make sure it doesn't end up inyour Junk Mail.
    Just so that others, can see, the script is;
    set jDay to do shell script "date +%j"
    set jYear to do shell script "date +%y"
    set theSubject to jYear & jDay
    tell application "Mail"
    set theNewMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject}
    tell theNewMessage
    -- Default is false. Determines whether the compose window will
    -- show on the screen or whether it will happen in the background.
    set visible to true
    end tell
    end tell
    (Now you can give me a star)

  • How do I make numbers automatically insert date of table entry?

    Hi, I am monitoring time spent on a computer, so every time I log a time on my table in numbers I want it to automatically insert the date of that entry in the next column, I do not know how to do this,
    I hope someone can help me resolve this issue,
    Sincerely,

    Hi Henri,
    There is no way to have an automatic time stamp in Numbers. Once you double click on a cell you can go to Menu>Insert>Date & Time and get a time samp that way.

  • Set spreadsheet to automatically insert dates

    Hi there
    Is there a way with Numbers that on a spreadsheet I could create a formula which would automatically insert a date to criteria?
    EG. If I want to release a product on, say 01 Oct 2010 and I know that I need my suppliers to receive it 5 weeks prior, and my office to be alerted 10 weeks prior, would there be a formula which could automatically work this out?
    Many thanks in advance for any help on this matter

    As was responded in your other thread
    in Numbers '09 :
    enter a valid date in cell B2
    enter =B2- "5w"
    in the cell where you want to get the result.
    On my French System, I entered:
    1/10/2010 in B2
    =B2- "5sem"
    The result is :
    27 août 2010
    In Numbers '08 the duration format used in "5w" is unavailable so you must use :
    =B2-(5*7)
    which means : substract 5*7 days to the date stored in B2.

  • Visio 2010 EMF in word 2007 fonts distorted in PDF

    Hello Participants,
    I am experiencing an issue with some Visio images not rendering correctly in my PDF. I created the images in Visio 2010 and saved as EMF. Then I inserted them into my Word 2007 document and generated a PDF.
    One of my images renders great, the other one has some font distortion going on. Can anyone point me to some settings that could resolve this issue?
    Thanks so much for your help on this matter.
    Z.

    My two bits for what they are worth. I used AA9 for the conversion. When I printed to the Adobe PDF printer, the text came out crisp. When I used PDF Maker, I got the same poor fonts view I think you refer too. However, I think it in part goes back to the graphic you used. When I look at the page in WORD 2007, the fonts do not look that good either.
    I did observe that it may be the scaling you have done in WORD -- a typical problem with the view of bitmaps. The size of the 1st one is 51% and the 2nd one is 59%. If you can scale the figures in VISIO so that they will be 100% in WORD that may help. What is strange is that printing to the Adobe PDF printer gave a nice result. So it appears to be related to a PDFMaker issue.
    An additional factor is that Adobe PDF printer seemed to retain the information as a vector graphic (you can select the individual parts) and yet PDF Maker seemed to convert the graphic to a bitmap. How much of that is Acrobat and how much is MS screwing thing up I do not know (I only say this from past experience with graphics in WORD 2007 that was not a problem with WORD 2003).
    As a last resort, I exported the graphics to an EMF and imported into Adobe Illustrator. I think clipped each one into a new WORD file as EMF files (Paste Special) and then ran PDF Maker. This time they came out fine. I think a good part of the problem is how the VISIO files are importing to WORD. That has long been a problem. I my opinion, MS bought VISIO and messed up a great product, causing problems like this.
    Maybe some of my comments will help the Adobe team to trace the issue. I know that VISIO files embedded in WORD have long been problems. I do not have a best work flow when using VISIO, but clipping from VISIO does not seem to work well. I hope that some of may wandering analysis here is helpful. I have just been commenting as I have tried things.

  • Conversion of Word 2007 Docs to PDF

    I am using Word 2007 & Acrobat 9 Pro.  I am attempting to convert a chinese document into a PDF file within Word 2007.  After conversion,  many of the chinese characters are missing and replaced with an empty box.  Why?  What can I do to correct this.  Printing to Adobe captures all of the chinese characters but does not capture the bottom border.  HELP!!!!

    Bill Thanks... 
    The issued turned out that doing formatting and inserting pictures in the Word 2007 document,  that the font changed from Sim Sun (Asian) to Times New Roman.  However, the screen did not look any different and I did not notice the change.  (Microsoft, please explain this phenomonem!!)Changing the font back to the Sim Sun that was already installed in Word 2007 solved the problem.

  • Insert the data automatically in a table

    Hi,
    i want to insert the data in a table automatically if the time is 12:00AM
    Is it possible?

    hi,
    i have the table "tab_eg" like
    id name code
    1 Rai 1
    2 Hewlett 3
    id is primary key.
    code is auto generated.
    (ie) if anybody is getting the code from tab_eg table,
    the code is automatically incremented by 1 using update query.
    It is working fine.
    Then
    i am creating the DBMS_SCHEDULER like this:
    BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB (
    job_name => 'UPDATE_TAB_CODE',
    job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
    job_action => 'begin execute '' update scott.tab_eg SET code = 1 '' ; commit; end;',
    start_date=> '01/APR/2007 12:00:00 AM',

    enabled => TRUE);
    END ;
    it is also created successfully in SYS.
    My doubt is
    when i have changed the server time as '01/APR/2008 12:00:00 AM',
    the code is not reset to 1.
    i want to reset the code as 1.
    what do i have to change in this DBMS_SCHEDULER.
    Thanx in Advance

  • Word 2007 complex autofill date feature

    I need to write the date in a heading (within the text body) and I need Word 2007 to autofill the consecutive dates into the following
    headings in the document. 
    Example: I want to be able to write "Monday, 2/ 02" and I want Word to autofill "Tuesday, 2/03" and "Wednesday, 2/04" in the following headings within the document. 
    Any tips? 

    You could do this with field coding or with a macro. To see how to do it with field coding, check out my Microsoft Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at:
    http://windowssecrets.com/forums/showthread.php/154368-Microsoft-Word-Date-Calculation-Tutorial
    or:
    http://www.gmayor.com/downloads.htm#Third_party
    In particular, look at the item titled 'Calculate a Date Sequence'. Do read the document's introductory material.
    Note that the calculations don't automatically update - you'll need to force them to (e.g. via Ctrl-A, F9).

  • Automatically insert last revision date into footer

    Is there a way in Pages for the Mac to insert in the header or footer  a field that automatically updates the date on which the document was last saved with changes?  In MS Office this is easy to do with a variety of document data fields.

    Yes, thank you.  At first I didn't think this was quite the same as in MS Word because I vaguely remembered that Word updated the date only if you actually changed something.  But now as I reflect on it, I remember that the Word field is actually just the date the doc was last saved, which is equivalent to the Pages feature since, if you don't save the doc you opened, nothing changes.

  • Inserting automatic file name, date and time in Illustrator CS3?

    hello all,
    is there an option in Illustrator where you could automatically insert inside your file the file name, date and time where it was last created or modified, etc.
    I found this option to exist in InDesign, but could not find the same menu in Illustrator. I am using CS3.
    help?
    thanks a bunch.

    Mario,
    would you please be so kind to include a reference on your site about the script? As far as I can see, the PutDateandTime.js you are providing here is a copy or a slightly modified copy of the original script that Wolfgang Reszel has provided on our site for about four years.
    It is okay that the script is available on your site, but please not without a reference. Thanks.

  • AA9 & Word 2007: Creating PDF disables macros

    I'm using Word 2007 with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 and am getting a strange error. If I open a document, I can access the macros fine (I have the directory where the document template is located as my "Workgroup Templates setting).
    However, after I create a PDF of the document, I immediately get an dialog box saying "The macros in this project are disabled". When I try to access macros, I can't. Closing and opening the doc is a workaround but I'd like to know how to get rid of the problem.

    General Acrobat Problem Steps
    If you are having problems creating a PDF, there are two steps you should do FIRST
    Go to the appropriate vendor web site and apply all updates to the program you are using (several recent messages have concerned problems with MS Office conversion, with the response that different versions of Office have different BUGS that must be fixed by a download from Microsoft - and MS Office products are not the only ones which may, from time to time, need to be updated to work properly)
    Apply all updates IN NUMBER ORDER
    Acrobat Update http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    Or, use the Microsoft product for Office 2007
