Conflicting results in spite of Preference settings.
I cannot change the date format to conform with the country I am living in. I
work in English in Spain where they use the D/M/Y format.
I have tried everything suggested by members of the forum and nothing results.
There seems to be a general opinion that this is because the date format is
based on the language indicated in Language settings in preference. In my case,
I have set the language of the user interface as English (USA) and my locale
setting as Spanish (Spain).
In the date acceptance patterns I have changed it to D/M/Y;D/M but this seems
to have no effect on the behavior of the program.
When I am working on a document and use insert>date it continues to come up
M/D/Y.
When I right click on this date to edit fields, the option to change it to
DD.MM.YY is not even available. However I did change it ot D.MMMM.YYYY and it
works only for that specific date. Not what I want because when I go back into
the document and insert another date, it continues to come up M/D/Y.
This is very annoying for those of us English users living in European
countries because we have to manually change every date reference individually.
I have attached three screenshots showing 1. How I have my language settings
configured. 2. the option box that comes up when I right click on a date. and
3. the result when I do an Insert>Field>date in spite of having changed it in
Preferences.
