Why can't I set the date and time insert to the format I want?
I would like the date to be formatted in the short form on my docs. However whenever I insert date and Time it always come out at the long form i.e.
Monday, 15 April 2013.
Right clicking allows me to edit it but the next time I inset it the long form re-appears.
I've tried to do it via the system preferences > language and text > region > customise route but the same thing thing happens. I choose the short form at the top of the choices but it still comes out in the long form on the docs.
Only a minor point but it is irritating 'cos it should be simple (probably is 'cept I'm a bit slow).
I'm running Mountain Lion 10.8.3
Thanks
