In my understanding OO.o takes the setting for date input format from your computers "short date" locale setting by default (thus my input date format is 31/12/99). This i believe is sensible as the date is best entered in a familiar short format. Is this not the case in your computer? (Check"Tools- Options... Language Settings- Languages"). Can you set the Locale Setting value to a different country and report back if this makes a difference?
Wrong. OOo has its own set of locale settings for all supported languages. If no number format locale is set for an element nor the application then OOo looks up the locale from the operating system ("en-US" or "de-DE") and applies its own settings according to the OS locale. This way a US English figure and a German figure always look the same with any environment.
