Default formatting a cell to display the correct date.

I want to format a cell to automatically display the current year with only
inputting the current date. For example, I want the cell to display "
Thursday, Feb 23, 2006 " when I type in "Feb 23" or just "2/23". I had
formatted the cell to do this but for some reason the program thinks the year
is 2004. I know the time and date on my computer are correct. The worksheet I
am trying to use was created in 2004. Does that have something to do with my
problem? Please help.

Check Tools Autocorrect to see if there is an entry to replace 2006 with
2004...
