I tested this in 2 OO versions and 2 OS. I get following results: OO 3.3.0 for Win Swedish - yyyy-mm-dd OO 3.3.0 for OSX Swedish - mm/dd/yyyy OO 3.4.1 For OSX English - mm/dd/yyyy This is independent of what date format I set in Control Panel/System Preferences. OO ignores these settings. I think it should not, it should use OS settings for dates (and numbers). This way the user has only to set these formats once at the OS level. This is how Microsoft Office does it. Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
