Default date format in mailmerge from excel file to word doc.

I need to send out automatic emails (with different data to different
customers). I have created an excel file wherein there is one cell for
"date". I have merged with the word document. While other details are shown
in the word as per the excel sheet, the date format is not shown as in the
excel cell. The date format in the excel sheet is "dd-mmm-yy". i need the
same to be shown in the word doc. however, it is showing "mm-dd-yy". can
you help.
