Hi Dermot,
If you right click on the cell, and select "Format Cells",
there is a tab for "Number", under this click in "Category" on "Date"
and select your particular date format.
You can also right click on the whole document ( the box above "1" and
to the right of "A" ) and from the Format->Cells menu, do the same thing
as above.
