Wrong date format in form fields of Word 2000 multilanguage

P

Hello

We work with Office 2000 (SP-3) in a multilanguage environment. The selected
language is german. Office 2000 ist set to german. We created templates with
form fields. Fields formatted as date fields (dd. mmmm yyyy) ar wrong
diplayed (in english instead of german). Here are the steps to reproduce the
problem:

1. In a new document, insert a few form fields
2. double-click one form fied to change the properties
3. In Typ select "Datum", in field "Datumsformat" select "d. mmmm yyyy"
4. Close the properties field and protect the form
5. Insert "12.2.05" in the new form field
6. If you leave the field, the date format will be converted to "12.
February 2005", that's wrong. It should be converted to "12. Februar 2005"

This happens with every date. Everytime the date is converted to the english
name of the month.

I hope, there's a solution for this problem.

Best regards,

Phil
