Description Darren Cook 2005-09-27 07:06:22 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050909 Fedora/1.0.6-1.2.fc4 Firefox/1.0.6

Description of problem:
The date format displayed on screen is not the one that gets saved to the file when I save as csv.

Attempted workarounds:
When I then tried changing the column type to text, it changed the fields to "38565" (for the 2005-08-01 example above) or similar. Weird.
I also tried loading the csv file in, altering the date format, saving to a new file, but same results.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Load an xls file into OpenOffice Calc
2.Select a column, right-click, choose format cells, choose date then 1999-12-31.
3.File|Save As, choose csv as the file type, and save.
4.View the csv file in a text editor.
  

Actual Results:  Dates appear in csv file as 08/01/2005 (they still show as 2005-08-01 in the Calc window)

Expected Results:  Date should appear as 2005-08-01
