e.g, for February, you must enter “02” instead of “2”. Therefore,
February 7th, 2001 could be entered as 02/07/2001.
Short Date formats: Using this setting the date will consist of
either a one-digit or two-digit day and a one-digit or two-digit
month. A two-digit year will always be required. This means that
zero (‘0’) will not be used as the first number for month or day;
e.g., February should be represented as “2” (not as “02”);
however, zero will be accepted as the first number of a year.
This means that you may enter 2001 as “01”. Therefore,
February 7th, 2001 could be entered as 2/7/01.
Each of the previously discussed sets have three separate
formats:
month/day/year: Represented in the palette as “03/29/1999”
and “3/29/99” respectively
day/month/year: Represented in the palette as “29/03/1999”
and “29/3/99” respectively
year/month/day: Represented in the palette as “1999/03/29”
and “99/3/29” respectively
Once you choose a Type from the above options, you must establish the
correct Format. The Format section provides details for each of the Type
choices and its associated Format options.
