Hello,

I'm trying to get a date field from an excel file using mailmerge.

In the Excel File, the column is a reference to an other cell on an other
page.
Both fields are in date format.

When merging in the Word document, the date becomes 38736

I've tried to merge formatting {MERGEFIELD datefield \@ "dd mmmm yy"} but
it doens't change anything.

I can't understand why it doesn't work.

Please help, as I really need this feature.

Bob
