From: At work At on 26 Apr 2010 09:10 Help! I'm using a lovely little template called event schedule planner - however it shows the date in US date format and I need the UK format (dd.mm.yyyy) how do I change it in this template please?
From: Graham Mayor on 26 Apr 2010 10:13 If this is Word 2007/2010 then the chances are that it uses date content controls to display the dates. You can change them all with a macro Sub Macro1() Dim oCC As ContentControl For Each oCC In ActiveDocument.ContentControls If oCC.Type = wdContentControlDate Then oCC.DateDisplayLocale = wdEnglishUK oCC.DateDisplayFormat = "dd.MM.yyyy" End If Next oCC End Sub -- <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> "At work" <At work(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:51BE82E0-3A8C-40CA-9723-BBFEDF6DC27F(a)microsoft.com... > Help!

From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 26 Apr 2010 11:14 I can help you change one and then copy it, though there ought to be a way to do it all at once for the same type of control. Open the template. Select an empty content control that you want to edit. Turn on the Developer mode (It's on the developer tab. If you don't see it, go to Word options and put a check mark in the the box before "Show Developer tab in ribbon". ) Then click Properties. Change the locale from English (US) to English (UK). Then set your preference for how the date will display. OK out of the content control properties dialog. Copy the edited control to the clipboard. Select the other, like content controls and paste. Make sure you are out of the developer mode. Check to make sure the developer mode is off. Save the template. Pam At work wrote: >Help!

From: Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com on 26 Apr 2010 11:21 Below, I should have written *Design mode*. Graham's macro is way cool, but knowing how to do it yourself is also cool.
