Re: Locale Setting suggestion

It's not so much US Army (especially historically) as ISO and the international standard for recording dates.

My computer allows me to do that no matter what my Locale is, although not all of my applications pay attention.  It is easier to set in some applications, not in others.  

Perhaps another way to handle this as a feature is to ask that global date settings be in the Tools | Options.  Of course, where a specific format (e.g., "yyyy-mm-dd") has been set on a field or table cell, it should be honored as set.  But it would be nice to have a way to specify defaults, even if that the settings from the host computer be used.

Subject: [users] Locale Setting suggestion

I wish in

	Options > Language Settings > Locale Setting >

there was the selection

	English (US Army)

that would use

	yyyy-mm-dd

as date format.

Where can I find the suggestions box for OOo?
