When I use the glossary, or the header icons to insert the date into a Word 3.01 document it comes out in the format 9/11/87 I've looked through the manual, and on every possible menu, etc. to find out how to change this to the more reasonable Sept. 11,1987 but can't find it. Does this mean I have to go into the international resource or something equally absurd? Surely there must be an easy way to do this! Thanks Jim Meiss jdm@ngp.UTEXAS.EDU

I don't know of any easy way to do it with Word 3.01 itself -- but I have an FKey that inserts the current date in whatever style I like at the current cursor position, and I use that in Word. You're right, though -- it is ridiculous that Word doesn't have this option. "Murphy, I'm a mess!" "That's OK. They'll fix you. They fix everything."
