It would be very helpful if you could tell us just where and how to
make this setting in OOo3. I can’t find it.

From the help file, search "date";
"Date
Inserts the current date as a field. The default date format is used,
and the date is not automatically updated.
"To access this command...
Choose Insert - Fields - Date
"If you would like to define a different date format, or have the date
updated automatically, select Insert - Fields - Other to insert a
field command and make the desired settings in the Fields dialog. The
format of an existing date field can be modified at any time by
choosing Edit - Fields."
I could not find how to change the default other than changing
language preference.
Ah good, this works. Although it is a lot of clicking, especially if
your style is not in the list in the first window. So now I know how to
get a nice-looking date into a Writer document. (The system for Calc is
much better.)
Thanks!
