setting, so I can't upgrade.

When I put a date on a document, I go to Insert, Fields, Other, then I
chose DATE and then DATE (not date fixed) and then the format I want the
date to be and then Insert and close.
My problem is that every time that document is opened, it adds an extra
comma between the day of the week and the month, for example: Friday,
October 13, 2006 will show up as Friday,,,October 13,2 006 if the
document has been opened three times since its original making.
How can I keep that from happening each time it opens. I only want it to
keep up with the current date...
I tried this question in the forum, but have received no response.

Hi Brenda,
What version and operating system are you on? I use Windows XP, with OOo
2.0.4. I tried what you said, inserting the field formatted like you had
it, and I saved the document, closed it and reopened it several times, and
no extra commas were inserted. I did this all in the span of around 5
minutes though, so if there is a time factor (like it only happens when
the document is opened on the next day), I would have missed it.
