WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: When the customer changes the date format (Shift-F1, 4, 2) in Setup, the example in the setup date changes to match the new format, but when he inserts the date in the document, it shows up in the default format. He can edit the WP.LRS file and it will then hold the default change, or he can use (Shift-F5, 3) and change the date format there and it will work. Solutions: WP changes the date format through two ways: editing the .LRS file, or changing the date format through Shift-F5, 3. The logic behind this is that when several languages are used in a single document, then the date format from the .LRS file for a particular language will hold until a new language is chosen. If you want to change the format permanently in the .LRS file, then use Shift-F5, 3 and exit the file. Upon returning to a blank screen, the date format will look to the .LRS file and display the change.
