Change date format example
By default, dates are written as they are spoken. For example, if you say "September twenty two thousand twenty-three," the text will display as "September 20, 2023." Suppose you want the dates written as numerals.
Here's how to change the format:
-
In the Manage Formatting window, select Dates.
-
Choose Write the month as digits.
-
Select Save your changes.
Now when you say, "September twenty two thousand twenty-three," the text will display as "9/20/2023."
To restore all formatting to default settings, select Reset to the default settings.
Manage Formatting eliminates the need to use a keyboard or mouse to change formatting, saving you time, and provides consistency throughout your documentation.
