          Issue ID: 126590
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Date Format
           Product: General
           Version: 4.1.1
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: help

Open Office Automatically changes my dates from MM/DD/YYYY to MM/DD/YY.

I do not like this. If I am trying to add birthdays to a table in Writer, I
cannot put in the correct date. For example when I put in 01/07/1995 it changes
it to 01/07/95. I don't want it to do that. I want the entire four digit year
in there and not just the last two digits. How can I change this.

I like the features Open office has as far as assuming what I want format wise
but when I don't want what ever format it is trying to use there is no way for
me to change it at least not without tricking it. 

HELP!

--- Comment #1 from Keith N. McKenna <kn...@apache.org> ---
OpenOffice actually isn't changing any data, just the way it is displayed.The
most common date format in the U.S. was for years mm/dd/yy and that is what is
set as the default. To change it simply right click on the cell and select
number format and choose the number format you desire.

These types of questions are best first asked at our community forum,or the
users mailing list.
