Sorry, Anne, but it doesn't work. The formatting remains the same.

...
I have set up a mailmerge Word document based on an Access query. In the
query the date is in UK format (dd/mm/yyy) but once the query is merged
with
the Word document it displays all dates in US format (mm/dd/yyy).
Although I
have changed all underlying date formats i.e. in the tables that the query
is
based on, I cannot get the dates to display correctly in the Word
document.
Please can you help me?
