Re: [libreoffice-documentation] modifying default for date in calc

2020-01-16 Thread Dan Lewis 
In the Format Cells dialog, place D- MMM- YY in Format Code. Click OK. 
You could also use DD-MMM-YY if you want the date to always be two digits.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] ODF formats

2020-01-16 Thread Drew Jensen 
Howdy,

The ODF v.13 has been released by OASIS as a specification.

OASIS is not the actual standards authority, that would be ISO
(International Standards Organization).

So at the moment the v1.3 specification is available for implementing
vendors to work with and test.

That is reason, to be the best of my knowledge, why it is an option in this
release but not the default yet.

Best wishes,

Drew

a 32bit edition of windows use this link:
