Default Date Format Corruption

I assume that the later ones are being treated as text, as Excel doesn't
recognise month 13, but does recognise month 12. If you are getting
confused between dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy, then it's worth checking your
Windows regional settings.

Hi There

When copying a data table from Word to Excel, the date format becomes
corrupted. Midway through the data the date changes from 11/12/2006
15:29:20
to 11/13/2006 2:08:40 AM. In the Word document the format remains
consistent.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Brett
