When I open a blank template I get UK date format which I want. But when I open any other template the date format changes to US English ? Any ideas ?

Hi,
What do you mean about the date format? How did you insert the date in Visio, insert a Text box and type a date? What's your Windows date format configured in Control Panel > Region?
Maybe you can do the following setting in Visio to set the data format:
- Select the shape.
- On the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Field; in the dialog that opens, Date/Time should be selected on the left and Creation Date/Time on the right.
- In the lower right corner of the Field dialog, click the Data Format button; in the dialog that opens, Date/Time will be selected on the left.
- In the Data Format dialog, either click the Format drop-down on the right to select a different format or type a custom format picture in the Custom Format box.
- Click OK twice.
If it is not your issue, it is better to provide a screenshot about your detailed issue to us so that we can do further discussion. You can upload the screenshot to OneDrive folder and share the link here if you are unable to upload pictures in this thread.
Best Regards,
Winnie Liang
