Date formats - changed in SP3 and/or Vista Ultimate?
I have Vista Ultimate on my new computer, and am using MS Word 2003 (yes, for
me it meets all my needs, and I didn't get 2007 - maybe later). I also have SP3 installed. The only available date formats are now the following: Monday, 2008-0407 2008-01-7 08-04-07 08-Apr -7 2008/04/07 08-Apr. -7 7 April 2008 03-04 Apr-08 2008-01-07 13:11 13:11 1:11:56 PM 13: 11:56 How can I insert a normal date, such as "April 7, 2008"? That is the most commonly used format, but I seem to have lost it. I realize I can just type in the whole thing, but that format used to be there. Thanks in advance. cjj |

That's odd. I have Word 2003 (2007, too) running in Vista Ultimate. But, I
have April 7, 2008 as one of my choices in Date and Time. What locale/language is listed in the Date and Time dialog box? Mine is English (U.S.) Is that choice available to you? If I set it to English (Canada), April 7, 2008 no longer appears as an option. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "carl jordan" wrote in message ...

Thanks, but that wasn't it. It is set to English (U.S.).
Perhaps I should just re-install the program, and see if that will correct it. Where I am it is about 3:30 am, so I will have to do it another time. I will get back to the group on this.

Date formats - changed in SP3 and/or Vista Ultimate?
If you want a specific choice that is not shown in Insert | Date and Time,
then you need to select this as your default short or long (as appropriate) date format in whatever is the Vista equivalent of Control Panel | Regional and Language Options. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you. That did it instantly. I also changed the short date format
while I was at it. Thanks again. "Suzanne S.
