If you formatted it using a date/time switch in Word, what switch did you
use?
If you formatted it in Excel, do not expect Word to use the formatting you
used - try a date switch in Word, e.g. change
{ MERGEFIELD mydate }
to
{ MERGEFIELD mydate \@"MM DDD YY" }
substituting whatever format you need.
