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.

You'll need two fields for this: { CREATEDATE \@ "d" \*Ordinal } and {
CREATEDATE \@ "MMMM yyyy" }.

But if you want the ordinal superscripted it gets a whole lot more
complicated - see http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm
