Formatting date problem

[J_Gold]

Hi All,

I have a date field in my document in which I would like to include the ordinal
eg. February 16th. I can't figure out how to include the ordinal or how to
superscript it. Is it possible to format the date this way?

Thanks,
Angela

{ CreateDate \@ "d" \* Ordinal } day of { CreateDate \@ "MMMM, yyyy" } will
give you 16th day of February, 2004.

If you want the ordinal superscripted, a little more effort is required -
