Hi everyone,

LibreOffice (I use version 3.4.4 under Windows 7) offers the
possibility to insert a text field that shows the current date.
Although using the German version, I can insert a French date in the
worksheets for my students. Unfortunately, there is a little mistake
that bugs me: In French, you normally use the number of the day, the
name of the month and the year. Like "28 novembre 2011". But on every
first day of a month, you have to use the ordinal number: "1er
décembre 2011". LibreOffice (as well as Word) ignores this rule. It
doesn't allow English date formats with ordinal numbers like
"1st/2nd/3rd/4th/5th of December 2011" neither.

I find this hard to believe since this is a common way to write down a
date (especially in French).

This is why I ask you. Maybe I've been to blind to see the simple answer.

Thanks,

Julius
