Modify in Word - date format

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 9

Is it possible to change the date format if you are modifying a document in Word? As an example, on the sales invoice the document date is shown in ext format (September 1, 2020). I would like it to display as 9/1/2020

Thanks!

    Hi Salah

    You could either try modifying date format on word layout. Export your layout and import it again with the desired format.

    How do you do that?

    Thanks

    This is something done by the developer through extension.

    You could either try modifying date format on word layout. Export your layout and import it again with the desired format. If this solution doesn't work, try first one.

    Is this something a developer would need to do? Or can this be done while modifying the word file?

    Hi Julie,

    You can Use the Format function on your date before sending it to Word document.

    Check this link on how to use it with dates :
