Default UK Datefield in Excel reverts to US format when mail merging Word

Have had excel and word 2003 installed on my PC at my place of work. Do a lot
of mailmerges.
Everything OK except when I mail merge using a date field in the SS (not
using the "today's date" update on word, - which works fine) which reverses
my UK date to US date i.e 24/02/2010 to 02/24/2010. The date appears
normally in the excel spreadsheet - until it is merged. I have tried re
formatting the cells and I have checked all the settings and they appear to
be set for English Uk - so I don't know what else to do!!

Any ideas please?
