Since migrating my data to my Lacie external drive (on which I installed Tiger and am booting from it) all my date formats in Filemaker and Office applications have been messed up. My system settings have always been set to HK time and date formats dd/mm/yyyy and I have data in filemaker and word as dd/mm/yyyy, but when viewing merged date data, it seems to revert to the imperial standard of mm/dd/yyyy.

OK, I did a full install of everything again, Tiger and all my apps one by one and setup my international system preferences and date/times to read dd/mm/yyyy in Tiger, yet Office 2004, especially Entourage still displays dates as mm/dd/yyyy and Filemaker is doing the same.

I can not find an option anywhere in Office 2004 to change the date format to link with what Tiger is using.
