OpenOffice.org/StarOffice Spreadsheets

I am trying to enter dates into a spreadsheet in both OpenOffice and StarOffice and they come out wrong.

For instance, if I enter in June 10th, it alters it to 06/10, but I do not want it to do this. Does anyone know how to shut this off???

Umm.. yeah... you need to format the cell's property to display the date style that you want...

With your cell selected.. cehck out the format menu.. there should be an option for "cell".. viola!

lol, alright, thanks...I'm good with computers but I do very very very little work with Office Software. I use graphics software for the most part. Anyways, thank you for your response.
