Hi James The following solution might be of interest if you want to permanently change all LibreOffice's behaviour to use the ISO date format. So I did the following (LibreOffice 3.3.2, on Windows XP): ** In a hex-editor (HxD for example), I opened "C:\Program Files\LibreOffice 3\program\localedata_en.dll". (DLL version 3.03.202) ** PS: Make a backup of this file before you try this! ** At offset "BB44" I found the following unicode string: "MM/DD/YY" - you might find this string at some other offset... ** I changed it (unicode!) to "YYYY/MM/DD" - which I wanted. ** (PS: make sure you stay consistent with the "00" filler bytes that unicode strings require for this to work) This worked for me :D - even files that were created before this modification now showed their dates in the "yyyy/mm/dd" format. 8-) Final thought: It would be nice if the developers added an option "Don't use locales" or a "NoLanguage" language option - this would make this sort of workaround unnecessary. -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to users+help@libreoffice.org Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/www/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
