Default How to change the default format of the date in header?

Oh, and press F9 after adding/editing the date switch to update the displayed date.

Cheers

Hi Ben,

If this is a date that automatically updates, then it's been created with a date field. In that case:
. select the date
. press Shift-F9 to reveal the field code, which will look something like {DATE} or {DATE \@ "MM, dd yyyy"}
. add/edit the date switch to give the format you require, eg {DATE \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"}

Cheers
