Please Help - Mail merge changes format of field when merged

[NeetaV]

Just updated to Word 2003. When I merge with database held in Excel 2003
field with date changes from Australian format I typed in to American format,
eg 31/12/2004 changes in merged field to 12/31/2004. I've made sure my
settings are all set to use Australian everything but it still changes in the
process of merging. How do I fix this problem. I know that I can manually
change after fields have been merged but it is a real pain, I've never had
this problem in the previous versions of Word I have used. Any help would be
greatly appreciated. Thanks.
