------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 31 09:59:43 +0000 2008 ------- Actually the page that got me to this bug helped me to find the solution. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=57941 The solution involves a one-off 9 step process by modifying the default style, saving it as a new template and setting it as your new default template. 1. Create a new Spreadsheet. 2. Call the stylist (Format>"Styles and Formatting" or F11) 3. Select the Default style. 4. Right-click on this style and click modify. 5. Select the numbers tab, select Date and set the date format you like 6. File>Template>Save... (Shift+F11) Save as template "myDefault" for instance. 7. File>Template>Organize... Pick your template from the left. 8. From button "Commands" at the right pick "Set default" 9. When you open a new spreadsheet now, it will be a new instance of your default template with the date format of your choice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
