Try http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3093 as one. It was part of the search I sent the other day. I gather it did not work for you. In that case, do an issue search as follows: 1. Select all but patch in the issue type field 2. Select all but verified in the status field 3. Enter date format in to the summary field 4. Enter date format in to the A description entry: field 5. Click submit This will give a list of existing issues. -- Documentation Co-lead "Dinna meddle wi' things ye ken nuthin' aboot!"
