When I finish typing a load of letters, I find/replace the default formatted date (eg "07 April) with my preferred format (7th April). Easy, BUT, if I try to replace with the ideal format with the "th" superscripted I don't seem to be able to.

The obvious thing to do is to change the default date format, but I have not found that either.



Any suggestions?

Thanks

The Date and Time available formats can be found on the INSERT ribbon under the TEXT options (the right-hand side of the menu). It does not contain specifically what you were asking for but, it give you other options.

Hope this helps...

Thanks Jim

Yes, I'd found those, but as you say, the list can't be customised to suit a truly British style. Ah Well...

I found a link that discusses this subject but, I do not know if it will get you what you want. You can certainly look and see at:

To see how to do this and just about everything else you might want to do with dates in Word, check out my Microsoft Word Date Calculation Tutorial, at:

In particular, look at the item titled 'Insert A Date with Ordinal Numbering'. Do read the document's introductory material.
