I would like to convert text in the form of M/d/yy to a date in the
form of MMMM d, YYYY. Any ideas?

You could select the date and run this macro:

Sub FormatTheDate()
Dim oSel As String
Dim MyLongDate As String
oSel = Selection.Range.Text
MyLongDate = Format(CDate(oSel), "MMMM d, yyyy")
Selection.Range.Text = MyLongDate
End Sub

Thanks, that works great. I was hoping that you might know of a way to
do it in a field formula that automatically converts the entry. I have
bookmarks that are entered in the M/d/yy format that need to be
converted throughout a document.
