Date change in mail merge

[Mo]

When I mail merge a document from an excel document or a word table, ay
work, I find the dates are coming out in a different style

e.g. 21/03/08 displays in the mail merged letter as 03/21/08

Can anyone suggest what is causing this and how I can change it. The
version I am using at work is pre 2007 on windows xp, sorry have no further
details with me as I am at home.

Thank you
