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? Peter J. Veger |
