Default word changes merged access data 'date' format from d/m/y to m/d/y

When I mailmerge to a word document, the date format changes from dd/mm/yyyy
to mm/dd/yyyy can this be prevented? Ihave tried various date combinations
in the Access Db Design. It makes no difference. Any suggestions please?
