Default Mailmerge date format

I using mailmerge to take some dates out of an Access DB to merge into some
letters. The date format in the DB is correct (eg UK format dd/mm/yyyy). But
when I mailmerge, it comes out as mm/dd/yyyy - USA format. The regional
settings are correct. But if I add following formatting data: \@"dd MMMM
yyyy" then it works. However, this is a faff having to modify this each
mailmerge letter I do - can this be set up as default ? It seems a bit poor
that Microsoft cant allow this formatting everytime. Any help would really
save my sanity ! Thanks
