Subject:Re: custom date format in PowerPoint? From:John Posada <jposada01 -at- yahoo -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 4 Dec 2001 07:42:09 -0800 (PST)
Just an outside chance...I don't know if it works for this, but it
has for other issues....
Create the date format in a Word document how you want it, then copy
the whole formula to clipboard and paste it in the PowerPoint.
I know it comes in as a "formula", I just don't know if it will
update the way you want.
