Default Merge Fields Date Format

Hi there, I'm trying to merge an Excel document into Word and the date format
is coming up americanised, ie mmddyy, I prefer the UK date format of ddmmyy,
I've tried to rectify this thr using Shift F9, however the date is coming up
as ddmmyy, however via the merge it is changing of its own accord is there a
known bug or any way to repair this, the versions I'm using are;

Word 2003 SP2
Excel 2003 SP2
XP Pro 2002 SP2

Oh just in case the data source in Excel has the UK date format of ddmmyy too

Thanks
Geri
