In Excel, go to the format menu, scroll to cells and hit enter. Press control and tab until you hear number tab. Then hit the tab key once. You should be in a list which has "general" as the first entry. Scroll down to date. Press tab; at that point you can type in the way you want a date formatted in excel.

It sounds enough like the date to be an encoded version. I'd like to correct this, but it will not correct. Any suggestions?
