Hi :) I think John's answer was mostly so you could copy&paste into the right places!
To do the formatting in the first part of his answer click on the cell and then look up at the menus at the top of the LibreOffice window. The menus should be something like File .. View ... Edit ... (err i can't remember) ... Format ... (more i can't remember) ... Window ... Help So, click on the "Format" menu, choose "Cell" and a pop-up box should appear with lots of "tabs" at the top. Choose the first one, "General" (or something). Somewhere on the left should be an option for "Date" which then gives you various sub-options. Hope this helps but there is a guide with screen-shots somewhere that might help so don't worry if it's not obvious. See Chapter 5 http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/documentation/ Regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Dave Douglas <ddougl...@farmersagent.com> To: users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Fri, 22 July, 2011 20:06:33 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Compute difference Thanks, but I am not a programmer.
