Default How do I format mail merge fields?

I am using Excel & Word 2003. I have tried to format the merge fields in my
document without success. For example, I want the date to read 1 December
2007. After I press Alt+F9, my 'date' field is as follows : { MERGEFIELD
"Date1" } so I changed it to read { MERGEFIELD "Date1" \@ "d mmmm yyy"} - but
when I hit Alt+F9 again it doesn't change the format. What am I doing wrong?
