I'm using 3.2.0 on a Mac running OSX 10.6.3
I have created a letterhead template which includes the date. When I inserted
the date field I got 5/30/10, i.e. the US standard, notwithstandning that my
locale is Swedish and my preferred language order in OOo is UK English followed
by Swedish. Neither of these uses the US standard.
After inserting the date field, I marked it, right-clicked and selected
"Fields", and changed the format to 2010-05-30, and resaved my template.
However, whenever I call up the template, I get the date in the 5/30/10 format. What am
I missing?
TIA for any help.

1) Delete the date field that you have in your template first.
2) Insert > Fields > Other (opens the Fields dialog.)
3) Document tab
4) Type: Date Select Date(Fixed) Format 1999-12-31
5) Click Insert and then click Close.
You do want the date to remain the same as when the letter is written
don't you? (That is why I mentioned the Date(Fixed) in the Select column.
