Word Mailmerge

When doing a mail-merge with Word and an Access database how do I ensure that
a date is displayed in UK format (dd/mm/yyyy)?

Thank you so much. This has solved a problem which started as soon as I
moved a mail merge from Access 97/Word 97 to Access 2003/Word 2003. Under
97 the date format that I had defined in Access was preserved automatically
