Hi,
Is there a way to change the "Date Format" fom Americam style to
European style (eg. today is July 25th - short date 6/25/05 in
America and 25/6/05 in Europe)?
Select the cell, right click > Format > Date > Choose style
Also, can I ask you to briefly explain "Date" and "Date Fixed"? What
is the difference?
Where do you see this term?
How do you make it the default format so you don't have to go through
and change the format every time?
Probably change the default locale.
Tools > Options > Language Settings > Languages
I just looked, there is no setting for the date format. Only the
language.
Here is the problem. I use English (Canada) but I need to use ISO date
format. How do I set the ISO date format as default?
I checked in 1.9.104.
I guess this is a bug in my opinion.
Try http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3093 as one. It was
part of the search I sent the other day. I gather it did not work for
you. In that case, do an issue search as follows:
1. Select all but patch in the issue type field
2. Select all but verified in the status field
3. Enter date format in to the summary field
4. Enter date format in to the A description entry: field
5. Click submit
This will give a list of existing issues.
But this is not the "default" format. ie I open a document and enter
the date field and print. The date format is not ISO. I open a Calc
sheet and enter a date, I have to reformat the cells to get the date
format. How to set all OOo to default to ISO dates is the question,
not how to get ISO dates in documents. I have been doing it one way
or another for years (except in footers in Calc).
I put comments on the bug link already.
I guess I will submit a bug.
