Default US date format in merge field

Hello, I am trying to sort out a problem for my sister, we live in the UK,
and her regional settings are configured to display dates as British dates
(dd/mm/yyyy). She is doing a mail merge from an Access table, the table has
some dates in a date/time field (which display correctly in British date
format). The mail merge all works correctly except that when they come into
Word, the dates are switched to US date format (mm/dd/yyyy). Dates normally
display correctly on her machine, and I can't see any way to change it in
this mail-merge.

Any Ideas? Please?
