Default How can I maintain Excel date formats in a mail merge?

I have an Excel spreadsheet with the date column formatted to display the
dates in character format (March 27,2005). When I do the mail merge with a
Word document the date reverts to the fomat it was enterd in 03/27/2005. How
can I get it the maintain the character format in the letter? Additionally
this information is imported into the Excel spreadsheet from a database.

Thanks
