I suspect that the dropdown displays date layouts according to the current
language, however a macro attached to a toolbar button will remove the
ambiguity
Sub InsertUSFormatDate()
With Selection
.InsertDateTime DateTimeFormat:="MMMM" & Chr(160) & _
"d," & Chr(160) & "yyyy", InsertAsField:=False
End With
End Sub

I use the date format "February 2, 2009" with all my other word
processors. With MS Word I tried using Insert, Date and time, and
find a number of date formats listed, but this one is not there.
I would also like to create an icon in one of the toolbars at the top
of the screen to automatically enter the date in this format (I have
other word processors that do this easily - even old word processors).
Version: MS Word 2002 running with Windows XP Pro.
Thanks
