Hello,
I use mailmerg in Microsoftword to format various letters. data is imported from an excel sheet and letters are formatted in Microsoftword. Now problem is just that when date is imported from excel to word through mailmerg it looks like "2/3/2010" instead of "03-Feb-10" or "February 03, 2010". can any one pls give me some slolution on this.

Regards....seekermay

click on the date merged field on the document
then right click and click on toggle the field code
then after the field name, add the formatting in this format \@"dd-MMM-yyyy" or what ever format you want
