I enjoyed the OO Calc Year auto-input feature, whereby "Mar 9 [ENTER]" becomes "Mar 9, 2011" (assumes the current year). However, after upgrading to OO 3.2.1, this feature no longer works, and "Mar 9 [ENTER]" now becomes "Mar 1, 2009". In general, mmm dd translates to 01-mmm-dd in the DDMMYY form. So the Month is retained, but the day as entered is translated to the last 2 digits of the YY and the DD becomes 01.

I am using Win XP Professional Ver 5.1 SP3. Do Windows Regional and Language Options play any part in this?

Very probably. In addition, there are OpenOffice's own locale settings at Tools | Options... | Language Settings | Languages.

Try "9 Mar" instead of "Mar 9": that works for me (3.1.1 under Windows XP with UK settings). Also try "9/3" or "3/9" as appropriate - according to your locale.

I trust this helps.
