I am attempting to merge a date that is in Excel in mm/dd/yyyy format to Word
but when the merge is complete I am getting the following result. Does
anyone have any suggestions on how to alter the formatting coming from Excel
to Word. Following is an example of what I have in excel and what is being
produced in word after the merge.
