Default Set date formats (i.e. 4th or 3rd)?

You can't do this with a single field, but it can be done with nested
fields, coded like:
{QUOTE{ASK MyDate "First Interview date" \o}{MyDate \@ "dddd, MMMM {MyDate
\@ d \*Ordinal}"}}

To see how to superscript the ordinals, plus how to do just about everything
else you might want to do with dates in Word, check out my Date Calc

The goal is to have the following end result with this merge field

FILLIN "First Interview date" \@ "dddd, MMMM d" \o

Result: Monday, March 6th
