MS Word displays wrong date

Hello,

In MS Word 2000, when typing the name of the current month, the AutoCorrect feature goes ahead and suggests a complete date (i.e. August 30, 2004).

Which is cool except when it gives yesterday's date or even two days ago.

My system time and date are current. Where else would Word be getting a wrong date?

Thanks,

Dan
 
I dont think I found the answer, but I found where the date gets its order from. Go to insert, autotext, autotext. I dont know if you can maybe select and unselect the date option. I wonder if that might refresh it. I dont have this issue, so hard to play around and recreate it.
 
Check your settings found in Control Panel > Regional Options > Date tab. The default settings are:
