Is there a way to get SW to return "SW-Short Date" as a mm/dd/yy format? I can't seem to find anything on this, I would have expected that it would be a setting for document properties, as that’s something that varies form company to company.

Hello nmaxwell,

The "Short Date" comes from the Regional Options in your Windows Control Panel.

To change it do this:

click "Start" button in Windows
click "Settings"
click "Control Panel"
open "Regional Options"
select the "Date" tab
change the "Shor Date" format to mm/dd/yy

Cheers,

Joseph
