Description Unknown 2002-08-12 13:16:06 UTC 
In Word processor, when using the Insert-> Fields->Date function, the date
inserted is not in a date format.  It reads a machine date (I think) and puts
that in versus a typical date format.  Eg. for today's date, 08/12/2002 the Date
function puts in 037480 instead.

This is not an API issue.  Forwarding to i18n team (AFAIK this is one
with the l10n?)

I can't reproduce this on platforms currently available to me
(Solaris/Linux/Windows). If this happens only on Mac I'll have to find
someone with OOo on a Mac..

I just went into the OOo 1.0.1 I built and the insert->fields->Date
works fine. 

It changes format when I modify the Tools->Options...->Language
Settings->Languages->Default Language for Documents not the Locale, as
I would expect it to.

@J.Pfersich: was that a MacOSX build?
Comment 5 Unknown 2003-01-10 13:22:42 UTC
