Default date formatting in Word 2007

Formatting dates in Word and print merge has always been "interesting"! Now
I have a trial version of Word 2007 and am battling with the same problem: my
date needs to have a UK format but arrives in an American one (although the
input [Excel sheet] shows the date in UK format). Annoying ....

How do I get to see field codes in Word 2007 and what should the correct one
be? I tried the one I've used before { MERGEFIELD mydate \@"DD/MM/YYYY"
\*Mergeformat } but ended up with a date at the top of my document although I
thought I put it in the correct location.

Sorry don't know where to find the version no. - gosh this is a pain.
