Writer messes up date formats of Word documents with am/pm formats.
I can not use it to work on our corporate files because it messes up
the date formats. This is important when you have project dates in
documents and get garbage.
Please consider correcting this bug by 2.4 version. I would even
consider helping out if I also wasn't completing my Masters in
statistics.
Consider talking your company into using the international ISO date
formats which prevent personal interpretation messing with time.

For the present, at least, the 24-hour clock is simply not on the tapis
in the US, outside of the military. And "personal interpretation" is not
at stake here; the problem appears to be a flat-out bug in OOo's
Excel-import code.
