Default Trouble Entering Old Date Formats

Hi,

I want to enter and format dates prior to 1901 so that I can calculate ages
on a family history research page. Without looking too hard I think that
dates start around 1900 and when i enter dates in the 1800s, I cant enter
them in any date format as they only seem to enter as general text. Having
picked up numerous tips from this site, Im sure someone will have a simple
explanation for me as to what I am overlooking. VMT
