I have a writer-document made up with a table.
In one column i write the date in Swedish format (Y-M-D) or Danish

My problem is, that the leading zero disappears.
I have tried different formatting, but with no luck.
Can somebody help??
I hope I haven't misunderstood your question, but have you set the
number format in your table to 'Date' and the layout you require? I've
just created a table with number format set to 'Date' and format code
set to "DD-MM-YY" and "YY-MM-DD" and leading zeros are preserved in
both cases. This is of course with OO.o 3.1.1 under Windows. It's also
the same with Linux.

Ditto here with Debian running OOo3.1.1. Interesting thing is that when
I do this when document is saved as a *.odt extension, DD-MM-YY and
MM-DD-YY both throw back the following formatting: DD/MM/YY and MM/DD/YY
But - when YY-MM-DD is used, the formatting is retained as YY-MM-DD.
This doesn't happen when the same document is then saved as a Win XP
*.doc format and edited. Is this OOo's approach to trying to preserve
as much of the default MS Word formatting as possible, so will over-ride
the ODT formatting rules in favor of the MS formatting?
Anyway, bottom line. The date formatting seems to work here too.
