Modify your default template for spreadsheets if you have any. Add a German cell style for the dates. Apply number format code TT.MM.JJJJ which means 2-digit Tag(day), 2-digit month and 4_digit Jahr (year) Use that style for all cells where you want to use this input method: 25. => 25.11.2014 (this month's 25th day) 25.12 => 25.12.2014 (this year's 25th of December). This can not work with any English locale because the point conflicts with the decimal point. Save this as your default template for your new spreadsheets: File>Templates>Save... [some name] FIle>Templates>Organize... pick your new spreadheet and choose "Set Default" from the command button on the right. Additionally you may define a custom shortcut to apply this style (Tools>Customize>Keyboard, category "Styles". -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
