Formatting a date field in a mail merge

[Harold Roundhouose]

I am having trouble formatting a date when I perform a merge. I have an
Excel source file with a field called "Renewal Date". In Excel, the date is
stored as 9/12/2004. When the merge is complete in Word, I would like it to
display as "09/12/04". Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
