Mailmerge in Word, date format in merged doc
I have been using mailmerge with an Excel data source for 3 years. I created
a new worksheet for 2005 and something has gone wrong. First, opening the Word doc no longer automatically opens the Excel file. In fact unless I open the Excel file before the Word file, it says the Excel file is locked for editing - although it's not apparently open at all. The other way round , it's ok. Secondly, there are 2 date fields in the data source, with custom format. I enter eg 1/9 (UK order) and the worksheet correctly shows September 1. The mailmerge letter/email also used to show September 1. But now it shows 9/1 (US order). I cannot imagine how this has happened or work out how to fix it. HELP! |
