When mail merging from either an Access or Excell datafile, the date format
switches to US format on the Word 2003 mailmerge, even though it has been set
up as ddmmyyyy in either Access or Excel.

See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods"
topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy
Meister's website at
