Change format of the date in Visio?

[Smeeed]

When I want to use the Timline-function in Visio I get disturbed that it
isn't possible to change the format of the date for example for an interval
or a milestone to the way i want it. I would like it to be "Friday 16/2"
instead of the ways that is possible to chose (not written out the month in
letter nor the year). Is it possible to change into this easily?

Thanks

The time and date formats used are defined outside of Visio.
Using the Control Panel go to Regional and Languages.
Select your region/language and click Customize,
edit the short date format to your requirements, in your case I think
you need the format 'DDDD dd/m' - you'll need to look up all the
formats, I can't remember, these above may the Unix format !
This new date format will be added to the listed date formats that you
can choose.
