Standard Date Formats

There are actually ten standard date formats, numbered 0 through 9. Entering a blank line at the d d command's prompt gives you format number 1, Calc's usual format. You can enter any digit to select the other formats.

To create your own standard date formats, give a numeric prefix argument from 0 to 9 to the d d command. The format you enter will be recorded as the new standard format of that number, as well as becoming the new current date format. You can save your formats permanently with the m m command (see section Mode Settings).
