Hi guys! This is my first time posting here and any help with my situation would be wonderful. When doing financial reports for my company I must have the date be in a "Month Day#, Year" format. (ex: February 28, 2008). With my version of Excel it often changes the format of the date cell to a far simpler format (02 28 08). Is there anyway to make my Excel always use the first format I listed above as a default. I've read through the entire help section and changed the Short and Long date in the Regional Options under Control Panel. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time!
