US Date Field in Metric Borders and Title Stencil

Hi,

I'm using Visio 2003 Pro SP1.

When I drag a "Title block corporate 2" onto my page from the "Borders and
Titles (Metric)" stencil it has a date field which gets updated to the
current date. Great - except that it comes out in US date format
(mm/dd/yyyy) and I'm in the UK where the convention is dd/mm/yyyy.

My computer has it's keyboard and locale set to UK - I can get pound signs
and @ in the right places - so I'm assuming that it's not OS related.

Can I change the format of that date field in the "Title block corporate 2"?

Thanks
Chas

Select the shape, then click again on the date portion to subselect it.
Then choose Insert Field and change your Language to English (UK). This
should get things configured correctly.

You can make this change across your entire drawing by going to File
Properties and changing the document language to English (UK).
