Good Afternoon
My name is Sunita and I use OPEN OFFICE CALC in the shop I work. I
would like to know if there is any way I can change the settings on
it so the format goes to South African format outomatic. Can this be
done?
Thank you
Sunita
Hi Sunita
These type of questions normally come to our users list but we'll look
at this one here.
What do you want formatted in a South African style?
Are you looking at Date, Time, Currency or something else?
While you are answering that can you please let us know your operating
system and version as well as the version of OpenOffice you are using.
It may help someone on the list to help you
Thanks
Rob

Rob,
Sunita isn't subscribed to this list and isn't reading it via Gmane so

To find the version of OpenOffice you are using look at >Help and >about
OpenOffice.org.
The format of the date is controlled by the format.
As an example open a spreadsheet with the date in it and select one cell
containing a date. Select >Format >Cells. A new window will pop up.
Click the tab showing Numbers (if it is not already being shown) and
then look at the Category column on the left hand side - that should
have Date highlighted. Now what are you showing under the language
column. I think you need to set that to English (South Africa) using the
drop-down menu and then see if the required date formats are available
as shown in the format column in the middle. Select the format and then
click OK and the cell should show the correct format. You can then
select as many cells containing dates to be the correct format.
Hope that helps
Rob
