Description andysp 2005-05-06 19:02:24 UTC 
When opening an MS-Word file in Writer, AM/PM date-time fields are rendered as
"a5/p5" instead of "AM" or "PM."

MRU->FLR: there has been imported an obsolete Backslash in the field format.
Comment 5 andysp 2005-05-13 15:52:11 UTC 
I can replicate the issue on OOo 1.9.100/Windows (Windows XP SP2) and on
1.9.100/Linux (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 i586, 2.6.5-7.151-default). Test
document was a version of the first attachment above, using MS Word 2003
(11.6359.6360) SP1.

Still not OK.
Set keyword ms_interoperability
Comment 8 peter.junge 2007-11-26 10:53:59 UTC 
Hi,

AM/PM seem to be interpreted as 'A<Month>/P<Month>' in this case. The
interesting question is, are the used formats generically delivered by MS Office
or are these custom strings?

Best regards
Peter
