I can find no | references in the documentation to doing such a thing... We will have more flexibility in the format of dates in MacWord Version 4, but it will still be a small set (3) of precooked formats: those which are available from the System. I hope to expand this set in Version 5, but we have a lot of other stuff to put in as well. Paul J. Davis Program Manager Macintosh Word Processing Microsoft Corporation
