Create Date field format
I am using the Create Date field in a fax template and want the format to be,
for example, 3rd November 2006. I can see an option for 3 November 2006 but not 3rd. Can I amend the field to give the format I want? I am a sophisticated user but dont do programming. |

Create Date field format
You'll need two fields for this: { CREATEDATE \@ "d" \*Ordinal } and {
CREATEDATE \@ "MMMM yyyy" }. -- Suzanne S.

Create Date field format
But if you want the ordinal superscripted it gets a whole lot more
complicated - see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
