I don't understand what you are asking. You can input a date in more or less any format you like and it will be formatted according to what you have selected in Options>Customise>5.1. If you have selected to display day-month-year and "format with 2-digit day/month" then you input "1 December 2013" it will display as "01 December 2013." Conversely, if you left "format with 2-digit day/month" UNselected and then input "01 December 2013" it will display as "1 December 2013." Incidentally, with that day-month-year format, if you input the month as "Dec" it will display as "December". -- Jenny M Benson Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp Follow Legacy on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/LegacyFamilyTree) and on our blog (http://news.LegacyFamilyTree.com).
