Hi

The field feature in Word has an option that supports non-Gregorian
calendars, like the Saka Era calendar and the Hijri/Lunar calendar. For
example, the field code for today's date for the Saka Era calendar is:
{DATE \s \* MERGEFORMAT€Ž}
for the Hijri/Lunar calendar it's:
{DATE \h \* MERGEFORMAT€Ž}

The problem is with mail merge: I can't find the correct formula to show
dates in Word in any of those two non-Gregorian calendars (the data source
for the mail merge is an Excel file that contains a column of dates). Word
keeps showing the Gregorian format. PS: As a test, I converted the dates in
Excel into the hijri format and then used the "via DDE" option when opening
the data source. Still, dates showed in Gregorian format in Word's mail merge.

Is there any way to show dates in any of those two non-Gregorian formats in
Word's mail merge?
