I have a mail merge connected to a a database & M.S word (XP) displays
'some' dates in U.S. date format (m/d/y) instead of UK (d/m/y) - obviously i
cant use these for professional mail-shots as i'd intended

No formatting can cure this and apparently it's a bug - this is a company
machine and the chances of an upgrade will be at best next year

meanwhile - anyone know any fix/work around for this - i'm not above a vba
fix if ness
