Thanks Brian, i didn't know about the double click thing so that's a help.

Would still like to change the default though if anyone knows how.

  We are talking about Insert | Fields > | Date - right?  Sorry, but I 
  don't know any way to change the default format.  But it is easy to 
  adjust: just double-click the field to edit it and then double-click 
  "31 December 1999" from the format column.

  Note that once you have created and formatted one date field in a 
  document you can just as easily copy and paste it elsewhere - keeping 
  your chosen format - as go through the process of inserting and 
  formatting again.

  I trust this helps.
