Description francoisj 2003-08-10 09:47:50 UTC 
I do not approve of Open Office's default date format. In South Africa we do 
not use that format. Please pay attention to the date format settings on the 
computer.
A particular frustrating example is entering a date in a table located in a 
text document. I have to manually change the date format to my satisfactory.

francoisj: What exactly is your current language setting under "Extras / 
Options / Language Settings / Standard Languages for Documents. Is it "English 
(South-Africa)" ? And what would be the correct default data format for 
a "English (South Africa)" Language Setting of the complete document or a 
single cell in a table ? Is it not MM/DD/YY ?
Comment 3 francoisj 2004-02-28 16:46:27 UTC 
South Africa's default settings are DD/MM/YYYY or some may use YYYY/MM/DD.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
