Converting Word dates from ddmmyy into dd MMMM yyyy

[DarrylGould]

Hello

Can anyone help? I am performing a Word mailmerge from a source that
cannot be amended. The dates in the source are stored in ddmmyy
format, i.e. 08082007 for today's date. I need to display the dates
as dd MMMM yyyy format, i.e. 08 August 2007. Does anyone now I can do
so?

Many thanks
Darryl

Tricky! However
{QUOTE{ = { Mergefield MyDate } \# "00'/'00'/'0000" } \@ "dd MMMM yyyy" }
should work, where MyDate is the field with the numbers.

That worked perfectly! I would never have worked it out on my own.
Thank you very, very much!
