How to remove the day from the date in a letter?
I have one computer that inserts the day of the week on the date line. I have
tried to reformat the date line, but it keeps inserting the day of the week. How can I fix this? |

How to remove the day from the date in a letter?
Assuming that this is some sort of a date field, you can edit the underlying
field code so that it fits the format you want. Press Alt+F9 to show the field code. You should see something like this: { DATE \@ "DDDD MMMM DD YYYY" }. Tell us which format you want, and we can tell you how to achieve it. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Maureen" wrote in message ...

How to remove the day from the date in a letter?
As Stefan says, you can edit the field code directly. If the date field is
in the letter template, that's where you need to edit it (see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/DateFields.htm for more information on the field syntax). But if you're inserting the date using Alt+Ctrl+D, then Word is using the format you selected as the default in Insert | Date and Time. Open that dialog, select the format you prefer, and click Default... -- Suzanne S.
