Hi guys I've recently downloaded Openoffice version 4.1.4 and am having a funny little problem.
I've searched thru the help fields and can't find anything there. I registered for your users forum but, try as I might, I couldn't even work our how to post a question. So I thought I'd try this. As I said, I think (hope) my issue is a simple one. Until recently I've used an old version of Word on my Windows XP computer but that seems top have died, hence now using OpenOffice. Several times a year I have to put together a list with names and dates. The dates are shown at the top of columns and I have always just written them as, eg, Feb 5 for February 5 or, say, Sep 19 for September 19. In context of what I'm doing I don't need anything else. Just Feb 5, Sep 19 and so on. My problem is that when I write Feb 5 then tab to the next column, it changes to 01/02/05. Sep 6 changes to 01/09/06. Any ideas as to how I stop what I want changing to something I don't want? I'd appreciate anything you can offer. Regards Jeff Pohlmann NSW Australia
