When I merge from Excel to Word with a date field, I get the date
listed as 38018 instead of 2/1/2004. What should I do to get it to
display properly. The date is formatted as m/dd/yyyy in Excel and
I've added the following field switch to the merge date field in Word

\@ "MM/dd/yyyy"

Any suggestions?
