------- Additional comments from [email protected] Tue Nov 24 20:46:32 +0000 2009 ------- FWIW, in the Windows OS it's easy to reset the default to the correct setting. In Windows, the change stays as set, and it works in every context. But it's not so easy in OO. It must be set for each document, for example. Calc doesn't even present an "Insert/Date" option, which is a serious omission. The ideal would be as requested in Issue 30216, but this interim quick-fix might be a small improvement. Even better would be if OO could simply read the the user's date & format from the parent Windows setting. In all these date matters, the separator (/ or . or -) is irrelevant. It's a simple formatting option. What matters is that the ISO date-number sequence removes all ambiguity from the date presented. That is, there is no doubt what "2009-11-10" means, but "09/11/10" can be read 3 different ways. Therefore the default setting in OO is most important to us, the everyday OO users. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
