Default formatting date mergefield in format "19-01-2008", not "1/19/2008"
I am using Word 2003/Windows XP (and Word2007/Vista)
When mailmerging,
with Word Dutch language setting for document (local short date format
dd-mm-yyyy),
with Windows English UK Regional/language options (with short date format
dd-mm-yyyy),
I get for a date as inserted Word Field the format mm-dd-yyy.

Why? and what to do to get dates in the format dd-mm-yyyy?
