Date Format for cover page template "sideline"
Hi,
I'm using the cover page template "sideline" and it has a date field automatically inserted into it. I have a Vista machine (no SP1 installed) and the date format in Aus is set to dd/mm/yyyy however the date that appears in the coverpage is the US format. Is this a bug? Or is there a way I can format it? I thought it was supposed to show in the format of my regional settings? Thanks, Sam |

Date Format for cover page template "sideline"
Hi Sam,
If in a blank document you go to Insert=Date and Time the default (highlighted) format you set there should be what comes up in the 'Pick a date' choice control when you then Insert=Cover Page. =============== "SamCPP" wrote in message ...

Ok thanks.
From your reply, in other words the date picker control is broken and I have to insert a date (I'm not blaming you of course... I'm just pointing out that this is clearly improperly implemented).
