Default Mail merge date field formats in word

Right click on the field in word and Edit the field code to look something
like
{ "MERGEFIELD "YourDateFieldName" \@"dd,MM,yyyy"} be careful to use caps
where necessary

Hope this helps :-)

I am trying to print a date in a word merged document with a UK date format
(DD/MM/YYYY). However, the date is displayed in a US format (MM/DD/YYYY).

I have checked the regional settings on the PC/laptop and have looked at the
date formats in the Access database where the merge data is stored, but to no
avail.

Any advice greatly appreciated...
