I want to thank everyone for their replies - you guys are the best. I knew if I threw this out there, one if not everyone would have an answer for me - Many Many thanks! By going into Control Panel/Regional Settings/under Regional Options Tab/select Customize.../ and select the Date Tab/ and where it shows Date Separator, just change it to a - (dash!) Is that not the coolest!!! Thank you Graham!!

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 <mailto:mso-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> ] On Behalf Of Gaynel 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.
