Hi Johnny, thanks. I get your point... The language/country setting is Dutch/Belgium, which normally should give 20-7-2012, and I liked the practicality of just having to type 20-7 to get this date entered in the spreadsheet. I suppose I'll have to get used to the ISO standard behaviour. -- Guy using LibO 3.6.0 on a iMac Intel DualCore Lion 10.7.4 -- please reply only to users@global.libreoffice.org -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: users+h...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
