Mailmerge using Word and Access 2003

[Chester1]

I have a database which I wish to use in a mailmerge all the dates are in
English formati in the database but as soon as I merge the data in to word
the date is shown in American format. Please can anyone tell me why this is
happening.

It is because Word sees only the raw data - see
http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm and the Excel data section
of http://www.gmayor.com/mail_merge_labels_with_word_xp.htm (the workaround
is the same)
