Hi,
I have created a mail merge from Excel 2003 to Word 2003 and my dates are always displayed wrongly.
I have added a date using the following format :-
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o>{ DATE \* MERGEFORMAT } and the date displays 15/05/2009
I have added a date on the same document using the following format </o>
<o>{ MERGEFIELD "Order_Dt" \@ "ddd MMMM yyyy" } and the date displays 39947.539468
I have been trying everything to get Order_Dt that is merged from Excel to display the correct format and have gone bald pulling my hair out.
I am not technical so will not understand going into programming or complex methods. Is there a simple way to fix this because I can't find the answer anywhere on the web or on any forum anywhere.</o>
<o></o>
<o>Thanks</o>
