Hi Rick,

To create such a field:
.. select the place in your mailmerge template where you want the date to appear;
.. press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{ }')
.. fill in between the braces with 'DATE \@ "DD 'day of' MMMM YYYY"' so that you get '{DATE \@ "DD 'day of' MMMM YYYY"}'

You may find that using 'CREATEDATE' in the field will suit your needs better that 'DATE'.

Cheers
