Hi,
my vote for turning the Auto-Date OFF!
I hate this date thing. I use the english version of OOo, because I hate
localised versions, and also their handling of number/date-formats (and
other problems with localised versions). But I often write dates as
non-standard dates. However, OOo insists to reformat things, although
that makes no sense, and even worse, it tries to format things that are
NOT dates as dates. He SHOULD leave that as is.
I always hated this Auto-Date bullshit.
One possible solution is to have a global setting, to turn ALL
date-autoformatting off.
Other advanced features would be to be able to set a date-format at OOo
level:
- only specially formatted strings shall be interpreted as dates (e.g.
only dd.mm.y* where '*' is a wildcard)
- and the date shall be formatted as pre-specified (e.g. dd.mm.yyyy)
It should be possible to use this settings *document-wide*, too.
Therefore, the user should be able to define a date-format for a
specific document and also to define string-styles that should be
interpreted as dates.
This would be great.
Many thanks to whomever implements this.
Sincerely,
Leonard

But pasting in a text editor or another spreadsheet appl. indeed gives
the same result ...
So probably something strange with the HTML-page?
Or Firefox bug 303597
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=303597), assuming that
you copied from Firefox.
Thanks for the replies.
Indeed, it must be a FF bug, since the paste result is the same in
other progs as well (didn't check that before posting, sorry).
But, the question arose because of difficulties pasting numbers that
become transferred to dates.
E.g. pasting 14.60 (measured time in minutes and seconds) will result
in 14-12-07 with the locale Dutch. Changing the locale to English VS
makes that the number stays the same. And the changing the locale back
again ...
Has there ever been thought about a possibility to turn that feature
off (some might call it an option, but you won't here me say that word
;-) )
Kindest regards,
Cor
