WINDOWS FOR MAC WORD 2008 INCORRECT DATES WINDOWS
First, when you use Insert | Date and Time, Word gives the correct date because this command actually goes and fetches the Windows date and time every time it is used. If you leave Word open on your system, past midnight, then the AutoText/AutoComplete date will be incorrect it still reflects the date when Word session started.Īndy actually noticed a couple of exceptions to this. If the file is then reopened in Word 2008 for Mac or Word for Mac 2011, the ligatures reappear.
Although the characters do not appear as ligatures in those programs, the ligature information is preserved. The date is only fetched from Windows once-at the start of your Word session-and then stored internally for use. The document can be edited and saved in Microsoft Word 2010 for Windows, Microsoft Office Word 2007 for Windows, or in versions of Word for Mac that are earlier than Word 2008 for Mac. This is the date that appears when you start to type a date into your document. When you first start the program, Word retrieves the system date from Windows and then stores that date in the AutoText/AutoComplete area. The behavior being noticed by Andy is due to the way that Word sets its dates. When Andy chooses Insert | Date and Time, Word gives the correct date, but if he chooses Tools | AutoCorrect and selects the AutoText tab, uncheck Show AutoComplete Tip for AutoText and Dates, selects OK then goes back and re-checks it, the correct date will appear when he starts typing. This occurs even though the Windows system date and time are correct.
He's recently noticed that if he starts to type today's date, he gets an AutoText tip above his typing that shows yesterdays date, not today's. Andy writes proposals that, naturally, include the current date.
