I use mail-merge to send reminders to a member base. One of the fields is
the date their renewal is due, and for some reason, it always shows in the
wrong format i.e. as mm/dd/yy instead of dd/mm/yy It shows as correct in the
database and I can't find a way or permanently correcting in the word
document. I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right
direction. I have been reading in Microsoft Help about switches and field
codes, but unsuccesful in getting them to work!

many thanks
