Dear Macropod,

Thanks for your reply.

Can i make it default? e.g. How to make {DATE \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"} to be
default format?
Do i need to change it every time when i make a new document?

Thanks
Ben

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

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
