Stop Autocomplete from changing my date entries

Post by jmt356 »

In an email or in the Note field of a contact, when I am typing a date, such as 10.22, pressing tab causes the date to transform to 10.22.2023. I believe this is due to Autocomplete. How do I disable this without disabling Autocomplete globally.

As far as I know, it hasn't changed since you asked Disable autocomplete date in Outlook 2016

The solution discussed at https://eileenslounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=33701 and in other places on the Intrnet disables Autocomplete globally in Outlook. Is there a way to only prevent autocomplete for adding the year to dates without disabling Autocomplete globally?

Not that I know of. I mentioned that in 2019 too.

Thanks. I neglected to read to the end of the previous thread. Feel free to delete this thread since it doesn't add anything new.

Please note that the update mentioned in that article applies to Excel, not to Outlook.
