SYMPTOMS
When you set a default date and/or time format (on the Insert menu, click Date and Time and then click Default) and then you change languages (on the Tools menu, point to Language and then click Set Language), the default date and/or time you set is not selected when you again choose Date and Time (on the Insert menu).



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. When you select and set a default date format by clicking Default (on the Insert menu, click Date and Time), the date and/or time format you set is not automatically selected when you again display the Date and Time dialog box. Instead, this default date and/or time format is used when inserting a date and/or time using other Word features. For example, you can insert a Date field (on the Insert menu, click Fields). The default format for the Date field uses the default you set on the Date and Time dialog box.



MORE INFORMATION
For more information about using date and time in Word, click Microsoft Word Help on the Help menu, type date and time in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topics returned.
