Hello all,

I am running AOO 4.1.3 on iMac Yosemite 10.10.5. I keep several spreadsheets which 
detail orders, symbol keys etc. but cannot format cells to accept 
‘Format/Cells…/Date’ with "31 Dec 1999” option.

When I press the keys “3”, “/“, “4” and “return”, the tabulation “3/4” 
(superscript subscript) as a fraction is displayed, not the desired date 3 
April 2017.  I have tried copying a formatted cell (above the blank cell) which 
is correctly formatted e.g. “17 Mar 2017” and pasted that into the cell I want 
to fill, assuming that the correct formatting of the ‘copy’ cell will transfer 
to the desired cell through the subsequent ‘paste’ action.  Alas, the ‘3 / 4’ 
key entry still displays as a fraction, not a date.

Could someone please advise how I can achieve the Date formatting I need?

Under Tools (Preference) go to AutoCorrect Options go to the Options Tab and deselect the "Use replacement table" box


Sincerely, ranger1s.
