You can turn off this automatic formatting much easier than you can shut down some of the more eager suitors.

I would love to hear any suggestions on how to keep this "auto correct" function from doing this again. "Quick Correct" This opens a new window with 5 tabs: "Quick Correct" "Quick Words" "Speed Links" "Format-As-You-Go" "Smart Quotes" Just from looking at the options, I guess I would have to go to "Format-As-You-Go" and possibly un-check the first option "Capitalize next letter after end-of-sentence punctuation." It's really frustrating, because this will affect everything within the document and/or Word Perfect itself.Click this, the Auto Correct Options button, and select “Undo.” This turns off the automatic formatting of just that one cell’s date entry.When you’re ready to go solo and know exactly how you want to format your dates, you can make one change to Excel’s settings and stop the ongoing automatic formatting.Click the "File" tab and choose the “Options” link.Scroll to and click “Proofing,” and then click "Auto Correct Options" under the Auto Correct Options section. Uncheck all of the “Replace as you type” buttons and click “OK” to close the boxes.
