We have recently swapped over to Windows XP and I am now having a problem
with merging to Word. I need to insert a pre-determined date which is
entered in excel as a dd/mm/yy (ie 03/03/05) raw data set to dddd, dd mmm
yyyy (ie Thursday, 03 March 2005) format in Excel to keep this format in
Word. In our old version this would merge over automatically keeping the day
month etc typed out but now with XP this formatting is being lost (showing as
ie 03/03/05 12:00AM). The formatting refers to the actual text rather than
just the font style.

Also numbers are having .0 added to the end after the merge. (ie 75 in
excel (cell format etc set to numbers with 0 decimal) is being merged to Word
as 75.0)
Any suggestions???
