Typically this is an document-wide setting.  Excel
has it in the Tools\Options\Calculation dialog.  OpenOffice puts the
setting in Tools\Options\OpenOffice.org Calc\Calculate.

But note that changing this setting does not automatically
shift values around so dates remains consistent.  If you have January
1st 1900 as your date origin, and then switch to 1904 origin, then any
date calculation that operated on numeric data will be shifted 4 years
forward.
