This is LO 4.0, so it may not have the elements you are talking about.  I 
used "help" and repeatedly did everything it said to insert the date.   
The default date acceptance pattern seems to have been M/D/Y/;M/D but that 
didn't work, so I changed it to MMMM/NNNN/YYYY, since I want the day, month, 
day of the week, and year to display and that doesn't work either.  It comes 
up "Date (fixed)" no matter what.  
I only downloaded and installed "writer" since that is the only part of LO I 
will be using.  Do I need to have installed one of the other sections as 
well? or something else? thanks in advance.
