Default Insert Date does not have the usual date format

If a specific date format is not available in the Date and Time dialog, you
will need to choose it as your default long or short date format in Windows
Control Panel | Regional and Language Options.

I use the date format "February 2, 2009" with all my other word processors.
With MS Word I tried using Insert, Date and time, and find a number of
date
formats listed, but this one is not there.

I would also like to create an icon in one of the toolbars at the top of
the
screen to automatically enter the date in this format (I have other word
processors that do this easily - even old word processors).

Version: MS Word 2002 running with Windows XP Pro.

Thanks
