Default Date Wrong Way Round

I am using Windows XP. I have made a document which contains a mergefield
that is a date. When I merge the document the date comes out in US style e.e
11/30/2005 I have checked all settings everywhere to make sure that all
settings are set to UK (which they are) but it still does it. Can anyone help
I am at my wits end.

See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods"
topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy
Meister's website at
