Default Need Help With Date Fields

You'll have to combine several DATE fields, one for the day, one for the
ordinal date, and one for the month and year.

Hi,

I'm a MS Word 2007 user, and I'm simply trying to display the current
date in the following format;

Thursday 14th February 2008

The problem is with the ordinal charector "14th" as it fails to work
each time.

The formula I've been using for the remainder of the date is as
follows;

DATE \@ "dddd dd MMMM yyyy"

but I want it to include DATE \@ "d" \*ordinal.

I've tried DATE \@ "dddd d \*ordinal MMMM yyyy" but this does not
work.

Any help is appreciated.
