Disable autocomplete date in Outlook 2016

Post by jmt356 »

When I enter a date in Outlook, such as 11.29, Outlook autocompletes it and adds 2019 if I press tab after the day. Is it possible to disable this feature? What I want after the day is a tab, not the year.
Regards,

Select File > Options.
Select Mail in the navigation pane on the left.
Under 'Compose Messages', click 'Editor Options...'
Select Advanced in the navigation pane on the left.
Under 'Editing Options', clear the check box 'Show AutoComplete suggestions'.
Click OK, then click OK again.

Thank you. Is it all or nothing (i.e., all AutoComplete suggestions or none at all)? I just want to prevent AutoComplete for the dates.
