Default Date issue merging from Excel field in Date format to Word

When I merge from Excel to Word with a date field, I get the date listed as
38018 instead of 2/1/2004. What should I do to get it to display properly.
The date is formatted as m/dd/yyyy in Excel and I've added the following
field switch to the merge date field in Word

\@ "MM/dd/yyyy"

Any suggestions?
