Just sent a copy to Andy Brown who contacted me offline. He opens a document with my template and sees the date in iso-format. so it's something local. I have a Macbook and a Mac Mini, both running the same OS and the same version of LibO, and both give me the same problem. I had/have the same problem with OOo, too, and this template, and always have. //James -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+h...@libreoffice.org List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ *** All posts to this list are publicly archived for eternity ***
