Mail Merge for non-Gregorian Calendars
Hi
The field feature in Word has an option that supports non-Gregorian calendars, like the Saka Era calendar and the Hijri/Lunar calendar. For example, the field code for today's date for the Saka Era calendar is: {DATE \s \* MERGEFORMAT€ˇ} for the Hijri/Lunar calendar it's: {DATE \h \* MERGEFORMAT€ˇ} The problem is with mail merge: I can't find the correct formula to show dates in Word in any of those two non-Gregorian calendars (the data source for the mail merge is an Excel file that contains a column of dates). Word keeps showing the Gregorian format. PS: As a test, I converted the dates in Excel into the hijri format and then used the "via DDE" option when opening the data source. Still, dates showed in Gregorian format in Word's mail merge. Is there any way to show dates in any of those two non-Gregorian formats in Word's mail merge? |
