Default Merging from Access

Hi

I am trying to merge information from an access db into a word document and
have two annoying things which happen.

1. The server system (2003), Access and Word are all set for English UK
language and UK regional settings, however when data is merged dates come out
in US format and formatting is not preserved (although selected).

2. several of the merged fields are calculated dates which appear fine in
the database form but are blank on the merged document.

The information is for Wedding Banns so the format is a set legal
requirement and can't be changed

anyone have any suggestions how to solve this?
