Elsie, >From the help files: 5.1 Dates Displayed As
Select from six date display formats: mmm dd, yyyy Nov 30, 1854 dd mmm yyyy 30 Nov 1854 mm-dd-yyyy 11-30-1854 dd-mm-yyyy 30-11-1854 yyyy mmm dd 1854 Nov 30 yyyy-mm-dd 1854-11-30 When entering dates into Legacy, they are reformatted and redisplayed when you leave the field. This frees you from worrying about the date format of the source document you are copying from. You can enter the dates just as they appear, and Legacy will change them around automatically. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2013 6:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [LegacyUG] Input format for dates In Legacy 7, we could choose to input dates MM, DD, YYYY or DD, MM, YYYY by going to Options/Customize/Dates/Input Format. Legacy 8's date formatting page is similar but lacks the item Input Format. Please tell me how I can set my Input Format to day-month-year. I have Dates Displayed As dd-month-year, I found that. I have been using dd-mm-yyyy as my input format for over 15 years. Thank you. Elsie -- Russell G. Strong P. S. Check out Legacy Family Tree today!
