Default Insert Date shows up MM/DD/YYYY

Hi

I am actually posting this for a friend.

When she goes to "Insert Date and Time" And she selects the "MM/DD/YYYY"
setting, it just shows up the letters. She would like the numbers to
actually show up. Is there any setting to fix that?

Thanks!

Tell your friend to try pressing Alt+F9 to see if that makes a difference.

Tegan,
Has she tried Alt+F9 to toggle between the display of the field code and the
result of the field code.
