Selecting a Date Format

In most cases the computer will already be preset to show dates using the normal convention for your country. Solar Fire displays dates in its own format, but decides on whether to show the International order (Day, Month, Year) or the American order (Month, Day, Year) according to the format that you select in the Windows Control Panel or Mac System Settings.

 

>> To reset the date format

•Windows: Click the Start button, then Control Panel, select the Regional Settings or Region and Language icon. In the “Date” tab or area of the screen, you can select various date format options, including the order in which the day and month appear.

•Mac: Go to the Apple menu, select System Preferences, then click Language & Region in the sidebar, and then click the Advanced button. From there, you can change the date format for short, medium, long, and full dates.
