    The formats shown above are not available in Word 2010 on one of my computers, but are available on another one.  The version without the format I want is part of Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, and the version with the format I want (January 21, 2012) is part of Microsoft Office Home and Student 2010.  Is there a way to change the available formats in Word 2010?

    Do you know how to add new date formats? e.g. I would like “Wed 05-Sep-2012″

    I want to insert a date as March 2010 but can’t see it in the list – how?

    and now show us how to turn off this silly American month before day rule and have a proper way of selecting DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY-MM-DD. Word doesn’t seem to honor the locale settings of the OS (Ireland here) at all?
