Default Date format switches

Hopefully someone can solve this problem.

I have used the date switch to swap from US date format to non-US date
format in a word doc and it worked great. When I come to use the same switch
in another word doc it doesn't work. The only thing I have changed is the
field name, and yes, I have typed it in correctly, it was the first thing I
checked! :-) This is the code I've put in

{ MERGEFIELD Date_Received @\ "dd/MM/yy" }

I wondered at first if it had something to do with the space or "_" in the
field name but the field name in the switch that works also has a space.
Basically I am totally stumped!! Can anyone shed any light on this?
