change header and footer autotext date format
Trying to use automatic insert of date and author in a footer. Can do this
using 'insert AutoText' within header and footer toolbar but for some reason date appears in US format i.e. MM/DD/YY I am in Australia and need DD/MM/YY format. All region and language settings are set to Australian. If I use Insertate and Time from tool bar within the main body of text it appears in correct DD/MM/YY format. Cannot understand why it should be different for header and footer. Can anybody help? |

change header and footer autotext date format
The button on the toolbar should insert the same format as the Alt+Shift+D
shortcut, which is the format chosen as the default in the Insert | Date and Time dialog. But you can modify any date field by changing the "date/time picture switch."
