Have you tried looking at the date format in Regional Settings in Control Panel. Sorry, I can't give you more details because our IT service doesn't allow us access to all that stuff - network security reasons!!! -----Original Message----- From: mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gaynel Sent: 26 March 2006 18:17 To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Changing the Date from slashes to dashes Hi everyone - When I am in Word 2003 and select Insert/Date & Time, I no longer find a format for "dashes". I can do a 12/19/05 but I cannot find a way to do 12-19-05. Maybe there's a patch for this? Any help would be great. Thanks Gaynel ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
