Default Mail merge date format

I am doing a mailmerge using data from an Excel 2003 spreadsheet into a
letter template in Word 2003. How can I ensure that the date format used
within Excel is also carried over into the Word document during the merge.

In other words the cell value in Excel displays as "11/5/1980" and is
formatted using the cell formating as "11 May 1980". When doing the merge
over into Word only "11/5/1980" is transfered. How can I ensure that "11 May
1980" is transferred or displayed in Word?

regards
Pieter
