I was unable to add this new date format to the list of date
formats I can access with Insert, Field and Date.

I use the date format "February 2, 2009" with all my other word processors.
With MS Word I tried using Insert, Date and time, and find a number of
date
formats listed, but this one is not there.

I would also like to create an icon in one of the toolbars at the top of
the
screen to automatically enter the date in this format (I have other word
processors that do this easily - even old word processors).

Version: MS Word 2002 running with Windows XP Pro.

Thanks
