# 6791 - Changing the Date Format WordPerfect 6.0 DOS |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 6.0 for DOS
Problem
You can store the date format as a code in individual documents rather than as a system default. This enhancement allows you to use several date and time formats within the same document. It also allows you spell out dates (such as June 20, 1995) and abbreviate dates with numbers (such as 6/20/95) within the same document. Concept Date formats are much more flexible in WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS than in previous versions of WordPerfect. You have several new options for editing date formats to fit your needs. Normally, WordPerfect inserts the date as month, day, year (June 20, 1995). WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS allows you to modify the date to fit your needs. When the date format is changed, a code is inserted into the document. When you insert date text or codes after the date format change, the new text and codes will use the new format. You are not limited in the ways you can change the date. How Do I Use It? To change the date format, 1 Choose Date from the Tools menu, or press Date (Shift+F5). 2 Choose Date Format (3). The Date Formats dialog box appears. Twelve options for displaying the time and date appear. 3 Choose the number next to the date format you want to use. 4 Choose OK twice to return to the document editing screen. If the format you want to use is not displayed in the Date Formats dialog box, you can create your own date format. 1 Choose Date from the Tools menu, or press Date (Shift+F5). 2 Choose Date Format (3), then choose Edit (E). 3 Use the Date Codes (F5) and the Time Codes (Shift+F5) to create your own date format code. Scroll through each of the lists to find the codes you want to use. Be sure to delete any unwanted codes from the Edit line. As you change the date, the Date Preview line at the top of the dialog box will display the result of the changes you have made. 4 Press Enter when you are finished editing the date format. Choose OK two more times to return to the document editing screen. See Also Date in the WordPerfect 6.0 for DOS reference manual |
