When I merge from Excel to Word with a date field, I get the date
listed as 38018 instead of 2/1/2004. What should I do to get it to
display properly. The date is formatted as m/dd/yyyy in Excel and
I've added the following field switch to the merge date field in Word
\@ "MM/dd/yyyy"
Any suggestions?
