If you are using Word/Excel XP (2002) as far as I know this problem should
have been fixed by a service pack some years ago (I think 2002 is up to
Service Pack 3 (SP3) now - you can get these packs from the microsoft web
site - see
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads ,or if you are in a corporate
environment you would typically have to ask your I.T. support people.
Otherwise, which version of Word, Excel and Windows?

Hi there, I'm merging an excel sheet into Word and the date format is
coming
out americanised ie mmddyyyy instead of ddmmyyyy, someone via this site
has
given me the correct codes but they are still not working, when I'm
pressing
shift F9 to change they are coming up as the correct format, but still
showing wrongly, is there any known bugs with this that there is a patch
to
fix it?
Any help would be greatly received
Warmest Regards
Geri
