I have a mail merge document. In the main document I want to insert the date
as the following:

24 day of August, 2005

When I insert the code to do this save it and merge, the date shows the
correct way, but it shows in gray. I need to be able to do a replace, but
when I search, it says it cannot find this. Is there anyway to insert the
date in this format so that it goes into the merged document as text?

P.S. I don't need to be able to update the date.

Thanks.
