No, he asked for DD MMMM YYYY format (i.e. long alphabetic month). That 
isn't offered in Edit->Preferences,Date/Time on my system.

The "Locale" setting appears to use one's system short-date format. (Mine 
is naturally identical to the ISO format). However, if I set mine to "d 
MMMM yyyy" then the sample in the Preferences dialog shows as "31 July 
2005", but the date actually displayed in registers is "17 Mar 2015", 
i.e. short alpha not long alpha. I have no idea whether this is true 
across all platforms or specific to Windows.
