I created a letter and I want to create a date to read MM/dd/YYYY. It is not
showing in my drop down list? Lucy

The dates available are dictated by the language format at the cursor. In
the top right corner of the insert date dialog, there is a window from which
you can select available languages. The US English language will provide the
date style you require.
OR
If you are creating a letter template, add a Createdate field eg {CreateDate
\@ "MM/dd/yyyy"}.
OR
If you simply want the date at the cursor, a simple plan is to add a macro
to the QAT (Quick Access Toolbar) or to a keyboard shortcut

Sub InsDate()
Selection.TypeText Format(Date, "MM/dd/yyyy")
End Sub
