You can change how the computer-wide "Short Date" format works (in Excel,
Word, and any other Microsoft or most non-Microsoft applications) works by
opening Start... Control Panel... Regional and Language Operations and
changing the format there. Or (perhaps better because it only affects what you
want it to affect), don't use Short Date as the format; instead "roll your
own" by typing mm/dd/yyyy in the Format property.
