Default mailmerge date conversion

Hope you could help me again. How Do you align currency figures so that the
values are right justified or all decimal points aligned together?

In response to your three(?) questions - From the Tools menu in Word, select
Options and then go to the General tab and check the box against the
"Confirm conversions at open" item. Then when you attach the data source to
the mail merge main document, you will be given the option of using the DDE
method of connection which should read the data as you have it formatted in
the table.

I have a mailmerge document with excel source data. I have date

number. How do I convert it back to display the desired date format.
Please Help. Thanks
