How do I retain my date formatting in Word?
When I run my mail merge, word is changing the format of the date. My excel
spreadsheet has the date formatted as "May 17, 2007". After the mail merge is done, the date shows up in the body of the letter as "5/17/07". How can I make word retain my date formatting? |
