Users may set a Windows system to YYYY-MM-DD. All applications depending on the default system date format then will so display.
At Calc _T_ools menu: _O_ptions: OpenOffice.org Calc: Calculate, OO users may set default Date format to one of three format variants, which exclude YYYY-MM-DD. OO users may format particular Calc cells YYYY-MM-DD by so entering into the _F_ormat code field at F_o_rmat menu: Numbers tab: _C_ategory: Date. OO Writers may _I_nsert: Fields: Other, where they may specify format of individual dates to be inserted. If these simple options are of no avail, write back.
