KDE Control Center > Regional & Accessibility > Country/Region & Language Short date format: DD-MM-YYYY
That does not affect OOo, I think.
Why should it not? I agree with John, that if it's set here, it should be global.
What does the command "locale" say? Mine says:
en_US.UTF-8
and if I leave OOo at "default" the same date as above shows as "11/26/05", ie, US locale.
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" Now why is this? KDE Control Center has Country or Region pointing to India with all the previews at the bottom in the appropriate Indian format.
Therefore, either correct your system/user locale (it can be different for each user, mind!), or simply tell OOo what is the exact "locale" you want.
My point was, when I set OOo to "default" locale and I specify the active locale to be India, then why does not OOo behave as such? I will check this in Windows, and if same problem there too (or even if not) I will report it as an OOo issue. Shriramana.
