When I save a spreadsheet with with cells in mate format (OOo format code
M/DD/YYYY) as and excel spreadsheet it is imported in excell as a custom format
code rather than as a Date format code.

The same happens in reverse. That is if I edit the cell format in excel to be a
date format and the open the .xls file in OOo, OOo interprest it as a custom
format code, not as a date code.

This isn't a problem if I am only using OOo or Excel, but the transfer over to a
custom format code causes trouble when I export to my Palm using Docs to Go.

Is there a way we can format the cell so that Excel recognized it as a Date 
code?

I have attached two file. The OOo Calc file that has the date format code & the
excel file that has it recgonized as a custom code.
