How do I display the day of the month using text
I know there are field switches, including the picture switch, that can be
used to change the way a date field is displayed. However, I can't seem to find one that will spell out the date of the month. For instance, for the date 5/25/06, I would like to display the "25" as "twenty-fifth". |

You would use *ordtext as a field switch.

How do I display the day of the month using text
You would need to use the following field construction
{ DATE \@ "MMMM" } { DATE \@ "d" \* ordinal } { DATE \@ "yyyy" } to get February 7th 2007 -- Hope this helps.

You can get twenty-five using the following construction
{ Date \@ "d" \*cardtext} but for twenty-fifth you are going to need a macro. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org abcsharon wrote: I know there are field switches, including the picture switch, that can be used to change the way a date field is displayed.

Great article! Thanks! To tell you the truth, I wouldn't have known except
that a client inquired how to do it and I had to research it for them. -- Carol A.
