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
