Is there any way to select only part of a mailmerge field to display?
e.g. the merge field displays a date and time in the following format
16/11/05 12:00:00
what I want to do is separate the date and time and change their format.
I am stuck with the way the original mergefield is formatted because it
comes from a third party.

If you have access to the merge document then it doesn't matter who created
it. Toggle the merge field and add a formatting switch eg {Mergefield
fieldname \@ "d MMM yyyy"}
