Need to change date on my MS Word 2011

I am using the latest version of Yosemite on my Macbook Pro. The date on my Mac is correct but every time I start to type the date on a Word document it automatically starts to complete the date (which is cool), only it's the wrong date (not cool). How do I change that?? When I drag cursor to the top my mac Date/Time setting still shows the correct date. What's going on with my MS Word?

Make sure your region and language settings are correct as well as the date in System Preferences. (Also check to be sure you've selected the right time zone.)

System Preferences in the MS Word correct? Not the Mac.

Ahh fixed it! Thank you.

That was System Preferences for your Mac, not Word. But I see you already found that out and fixed it.
