I had a look at this a few months ago.At that time I thought that
a. the language used to display these dates is the "Primary Editing
language" that is set in the Office Language Settings.
b. the language settings in Control Panel regional options, the
language of the paragraph/style, and the language currently used for
input do not seem to affect it at all.
(With ordinary fields (e.g. REF fields) date formatting does take
account of the language of the text, but attempting to apply a date
format switch within the FORMTEXT field makes no difference.)
So it is worth checking that. However, since it sounds as if your entire
system is set up for Dutch use, the "Primary Editing language" will also
be Dutch and my hypothesis will be wrong. If so, I'm not sure I will be
able to find a solution, but let me know. I may only have looked at Word
2007.

Hi everyone,
I have a Dutch version of Word 2003, and I work with Dutch texts in Dutch
documents, in which the language is set to Dutch.
I insert a text form field with the type set to Date and the Date format to
"d MMMM", protect the form and type 6-6 in the field. I press the tab key.
The field result is "6 June".
It's English!
What can I possibly do to retrieve Dutch dates?
Thank you,
Cooz
