The short answer is that you can't. Word has limited autocompletion of
dates, but it doesn't do exactly what you ask and although you could
probably cobble together a set of autotext entries pertinent to each weekday
that would replace with a createdate field. It would be much simpler and
more practical to either use the insert date feature (ALT+SHIFT+D) or insert
the date in whatever format you like using a macro assigned to a keyboard
shortcut e.g.

Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _
"d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub
