mail merge into Word American style

[debbyh]

How do I write the code to format the date as July 22, 2004?

 

[Greg Maxey]

Try a switch e.g.,

{ YourMergefield \@ "MMMM dd, yyyy" }

 

[Graham Mayor]

{Mergefield Fieldname \@ "MMMM d, yyyy"}
if you want July 2, 2004 for the 2nd July
or
{Mergefield Fieldname \@ "MMMM dd, yyyy"}
if you want July 02, 2004 for the 2nd July

'Fieldname' is the name of your merged date field.
