Using the autocomplete option I can enter many common used words, items
etc.

For some reason my months do work, but my current date option is no
working even when the autocomplete option is turned on.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem

AutoComplete does not work as advertised for dates.

new one

It evidently became broken sometime after Word 2000.

You might try the freeware PhraseExpress. It is generally more powerful than
MS Autocomplete - eg it works in other programs too - but I don't know
offhand if it has a current date autocompletion option. Needless to say, it
has its wrinkles too.
