How To Change The Date Display In List Files |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: List Files displays the Date as Month/Day/Year, but the customer wants the Date Stamp to display as Day/Month/Year. Solutions: You can change the way the date displays in List Files by editing the Language Resource File (WP.LRS). This file contains language formatting conventions for use with the Date, Footnote, File Manager, and Tables features. Formatting conventions determine the way WordPerfect displays certain kinds of information, such as dates, times, and currency symbols. Use the following steps to change the date display in List Files: 1. Retrieve the WP.LRS file (NOTE: it is a good idea to make a backup copy of this file before editing it). 2. Determine what Language is currently being used by selecting File|Setup| Environment|Language, then exit back to the document (Home, F7) and move the cursor to the appropriate Language section of the WP.LRS file. (NOTE: The WP.LRS file is divided into a different section for each of the different Languages. The beginning of each section will contain the corresponding Language title. Use Search (F2) to quickly move the cursor to the appropriate section). 3. Move the cursor to "Field 9" of the appropriate section. This field will contain a number. Change the number according to how you want List Files to display the date (1=day/month/year, 2=month/day/year, 3=year/month/day). 4. Save the changes to the WP.LRS file and then exit and re-enter WordPerfect. Go into List Files (F5) to verify that the date display is correct. Refer to the WP 6.0 DOS Reference manual under Language Resource File for more information. |
