The standard date format as well as the standard currency format are organized in a country-specific manner by <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname>.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">The currency formats of <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> can be set independent of the country or the language.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">In <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> you can also define your own currency formats. Be aware that when exporting platform independence is not guaranteed.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">In addition, the euro currency format is available in <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname>.</p>
