How are you inserting the date automatically? If you're using Alt+Shift+D or
the buttons on the Header and Footer toolbar, they use the date format
selected as the default in Insert | Date and Time. AutoComplete generally
suggests the short or long date format selected in Control Panel | Regional
Options.
