Auto Date in Microsoft Word Documents

I have Microsoft Office Word 2003, and I have always been able to type the date in and AutoText completes the date. (Eg. Sept = September, and once I press the space bar it would enter the rest of the date: 9, 2007) However now it will only use AutoText for the month, and no longer the rest of the date.

I have already gone to the AutoText tab under insert, and clicked the box that says “Show AutoComplete Suggestions” as the help has instructed me to do. However nothing is changing. I really love the Auto Date feature, and as a student I am constantly using it. If anyone could PLEASE help me with this ASAP, I would GREATLY appreciate it! Thank you!
