It's not a good idea long term, once in a while shouldn't hurt too much. But why change gears? Isn't the point of buying an automatic so that you DON'T have to change gears......

The only reason you should ever take that shifter below "D" is for climbing or decending hills, or if you're crazy enough, towing a trailer. Limit it to that, and you'll be fine.
