Word should have a Julian day format

[Dave]

When using the 'insert date and time' function, Word does not have a Julian
Day format.

We use Julian Day/GMT in much of our logging which is done in Word 2007. It
would be really nice if the 'insert date and time' included this.

All versions of Word.

Hi Dave,

It all depends on what you mean by 'Julian Day format'. There is any number of interpretations of what this might mean. For example,
for today’s date Gregorian calendar date (15 of April, 2009), the:
.. Julian Day Number is 2,454,937;
.. Julian Calendar Date is 28 April 2009; or
.. A year number & day number combination for a Gregorian calendar, where today’s date is represented as 09105.
.. A year number & day number combination for a Julian calendar, where today’s date is represented as 09128.
Note that the last two represenations are not Julian dates (though they are sometimes called that, implying some necessary
connection with the Julian calendar) and are ambiguous as to what century is meant.
