Hi there..
I am mail merging date fields from excel spreadsheet listed in format 24
September 2008 but when they come across into the word doc they display as
the US date format 9/24/08.
I have checked the language settings to make sure they are English -
Australian (not US) on the word doc. I have tried selecting the correct
date
format when editing the toggle fields. I'm stuck! help!! ...any
suggestions??
