mail merge date

[Pam Coleman]

I created a certificate in word and have a mail merge field set up for the
name and the date. My data source was created in excel. Everything works
fine except for the date, in excel I formatted the date to appear as May 1,
2006...... but when the field shows on the certificate it is
5/1/2006.......Is there a way to have the date printed out as May 1,
2006...... instead of numbers?
Thanks
