Verified, I have the same problem in both Ooo 2.0.2 and 2.0.4 english versions
(haven't tried any other versions).
The reason that it's working on the German version of WinXP appears to be
because OOo is saving the date in the German format ("tt.MM.yyyy").
'tt' stands for Tag.
Also, it's always saving the date in a dotted style, regardless of the separator
I choose.
When I manually alter the date in the RTF file (with notepad) to "dd.MM.jjjj"
(Dutch date code) OpenOffice will open it correctly. I am using the English
version of Windows XP set to "Location: Netherlands, The".
Wordpad, however, handles the RTF file saved by OpenOffice correctly.
Perhaps the problem (in the export/import filter) is the following:
- When saving, OOo always saves the date in German localization.
- When opening, some windows-native library function is used to convert the
datecode into the current date.
This seems to only work correctly on the German version of Windows.
Example RTF code saved by OOo 2.0.4:
{\field{\*\fldinst \\date \\@"tt.MM.yyyy"}{\fldrslt 27-11-2006}}
After opening, this results in: "tt.11.yyyy" being displayed.
Also, OOo should use the separator from the "fldrslt" field like wordpad does or
set the date code correctly.
