Mail merge date field formats in word

[Slim]

I am trying to print a date in a word merged document with a UK date format
(DD/MM/YYYY). However, the date is displayed in a US format (MM/DD/YYYY).

I have checked the regional settings on the PC/laptop and have looked at the
date formats in the Access database where the merge data is stored, but to no
avail.

Any advice greatly appreciated...

Right click on the field in word and Edit the field code to look something
like
{ "MERGEFIELD "YourDateFieldName" \@"dd,MM,yyyy"} be careful to use caps
where necessary

Exactly like { MERGEFIELD YourDateFieldName \@ "dd/MM/yyyy"} would give the
requested format!
