Hi all,

Sorry about the subject line

I'm using mail-merge to produce daily signing in sheets. Mail merge fields
are just day of the week and date. Start date can be entered on an excel
sheet and subsequent days and dates fill in using a formula.

My problem is that even though I've changed the format to custom ddmmyy (or
something like that) it's displaying in the merge field as 03/06/2007.

Any ideas please?
